FRANCESTOWN, N.H. — June 10, 2025Fidium, New Hampshire’s best internet provider according to CNET, has expanded its multi-gig, symmetrical speed internet service to Francestown, bringing access to its future-proof fiber network to more than 600 homes and businesses. This accounts for nearly every serviceable address in the community. Fidium’s expansion of its all-fiber network, which began in January, brings all the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection to Francestown.

“For the last five years, we’ve been dedicated to bringing reliable connectivity to Francestown,” said Alfred Eisenberg, chairman of the Francestown Broadband Committee. “Fidium was the only provider willing to make an investment significant enough, and with their expansion complete, we have reached our milestone. Improved coverage with Fidium strengthens our community, making it easier to work, learn, and stay connected in everyday life.”

Fidium’s expansion upgrades connectivity for Francestown, offering benefits that come with fiber broadband access, including improved educational outcomes, reduced healthcare costs and enhanced economic opportunities.

“Future-proof connectivity from Fidium delivers superior speeds and beyond for Francestown,” said Jeff McIver, senior government relations manager for Fidium. “It’s everyday instances where access to reliable service makes the difference, from the feeling of having a more productive workday, to connecting with family and friends, to not having to worry about losing connection while on the important call or while watching the big game. Bringing Fidium to Francestown is an investment in the future, providing connectivity that will serve the community for generations to come.”

Today, more than 323,000 New Hampshire homes and businesses have access to Fidium, including more than 49,000 homes and businesses in Monadnock Region communities.

Fiber connectivity also brings self-employment growth of 10%, increases per capita income by 18%, and increases real estate values by 4.9%. Businesses also see a 213% increase in growth, as fiber enables opportunities to enhance customer experiences, reduce costs, improve employee productivity, improve network operations, and meet revenue targets through implementation of emerging technologies, such as AI.

Fidium plans offer reliable, symmetrical speeds from 100 Mbps to 2 Gigs (2000 Mbps).
