Fidium Fiber set to begin internet expansion
Fidium Fiber is expanding its all-fiber internet network in Dexter and Guilford, as well as parts of the Corinna, Garland, and Sangerville areas, bringing multi-gig speed service to more than 5,200 homes and businesses in these Maine communities. Construction is scheduled to begin as soon as Aug. 7, with exact start dates varying by location.
The work of installing new fiber optic lines along roads and in public utility areas requires some digging and climbing of utility poles. Crews will be working along the edge of private property within the public right-of-way and/or public utility easements. This work may require some temporary traffic detours, noise and dust. Paint markings and/or flags may be placed in areas where construction is active. Flags will be removed once work is complete in the area. Crews will work quickly, clean up after themselves and will aim to minimize any disruption.
Fidium Fiber officials know this work could be inconvenient for our community and appreciate your patience while we upgrade neighborhoods to 100 percent fiber internet. More information on the fiber build progress will be shared with town and city officials, as well as residents. Mailers, door hangers and construction alerts will be distributed to keep the public informed, and Fidium representatives will be visiting neighborhoods to share more about what to expect during construction and how to sign up to be the first notified as soon as service is ready to install.
