Construction on a new all-fiber network will bring benefits to Conway, North Conway and Exeter

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Sept. 21, 2022 — More than 30,000 homes in Manchester, N.H. can now order best-in-class, multi-gig-speed internet from Fidium Fiber, the new customer-centered broadband service that recently helped the city rank in the top five college towns with fastest fixed broadband speeds.

Soon, residents in Exeter, Conway and North Conway will be able to order Fidium, as construction has begun on an all-fiber network. Before the year’s end, more than 12,000 homes in these towns will be able to experience the service that won top spot in the Best of 603 contest for internet providers in New Hampshire.

“I’m thrilled that even more Granite State residents can experience how powerful multi-gig internet and WiFi 6 can be,” said Erik Garr, president of consumer and small business for Consolidated Communications. “Residents throughout New Hampshire are now reaping the economic, educational, health and entertainment benefits that reliable, super-high-speed internet delivers.” 

With 2 Gig service, users can connect dozens of smart devices, stream ultra-high-definition video, join video conferences and connect multiple bandwidth-hungry devices simultaneously. While 1 Gig is Fidium’s most popular plan, 2 Gig plans can satisfy even the heaviest data users or those who just want the fastest available symmetrical home internet.
