“We cut the cord a few years ago to just stream TV,” said Kandi-Lee Hoy, a Fidium customer in South Portland. “Since Fidium showed up, our service has been great. We stream a lot of entertainment, YouTube, streaming TV, streaming hockey games, it all works very well without glitches or outages.”
Today, more than 700,000 combined homes and businesses in Maine and New Hampshire have access to Fidium. This includes Old Orchard Beach and York in Maine, where initial fiber expansion was completed in 2024, as well as Hampton, Portsmouth, Rye and Seabrook in New Hampshire.
