More than 4,200 homes and businesses in Milton, Colchester and Georgia gain access to Fidium's all-fiber network
MILTON, Vt. — Feb. 5, 2025 — Fidium has expanded its multi-gig, symmetrical speed internet service in the Milton-area, making its future-proof fiber network available to more than 4,200 homes and businesses in Milton, Colchester and Georgia. Additional construction will connect more than 800 additional area locations by the end of the year.
Fidium’s expansion of its all fiber, future-proof network brings all the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection to Milton. Fiber broadband drives economic growth, in particular for rural communities, increasing business growth by 213% and leading to 44% higher GDP. For individuals, fiber access resulted in self-employment growth of 10% and increased per capita income by 18%. Fiber also increases real estate values, as single-family homes with fiber access have a 4.9% higher value than those without.
“Fiber transforms how we connect with one another, delivering superior speeds, low latency and high reliability,” said Jeffrey Austin, vice president of Network Planning and Fiber Build Strategy for Fidium. “We are proud to expand Fidium’s future-proof network to Milton, bringing turbocharged speeds and benefits that can go even further. Access to fiber improves educational outcomes, reduces healthcare costs, enhances economic opportunities, and much more. With Fidium’s new fiber network now in place, Milton is poised for a future powered by connectivity.”
Today, more than 134,000 Vermont homes and businesses have access to Fidium, including expansion to more than 25,000 homes and businesses since 2023 in northwest Vermont. Residents in St. Albans, Fairfield, Fairfax, Georgia, Milton, Colchester, Essex Junction, Essex Town, Williston and more now have access to Fidium’s all-fiber network. Construction is now underway in Enosburgh and Sheldon, bringing expanded connectivity to the region.
