MANCHESTER, NH (June 9, 2010) FairPoint Communications has added even more neighborhoods and communities to its ever expanding VantagePoint network, a fiber-based high capacity network offering Internet services that provide businesses and residents with a better, faster way to communicate. This spring more than 8,900 homes and businesses in 24 communities across New Hampshire have been added to the VantagePoint network including new areas in Dover, Enfield, Gilford, and North Hampton.
More than $111 million has been invested by FairPoint in the communications infrastructure and technology to bring the VantagePoint network to northern New England; including building more than 411 miles of new fiber across the region.
With speed options as fast as 15megabits per second (Mbps), downloading entire movies will now take a few short minutes. Broadband service on the VantagePoint network provides customers with the ability to smoothly stream live video, play online games at lightning speeds and upload photos and large files with ease. Always on broadband access provides nearly instant connections to information, news and entertainment.
