  • The expansion uses Fidium’s 100% fiber network and WiFi 7 equipment, which the company says delivers faster, more consistent service than cable or DSL.
  • Hampton will be named a “Gig Town” at a July 1 event at the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce, while Fidium teams begin neighborhood outreach on pricing, availability and installation.
  • Statewide, over 400,000 homes and businesses now have access to Fidium across more than 17,500 miles of network, and the company said more Seacoast communities are due to come online in coming months.
