BANGOR, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Residents in Bangor, Maine can now order best-in-class, multi-gig-speed internet from Fidium Fiber, Consolidated Communications’ customer-centered residential internet service.

Construction on the Bangor fiber network is nearly complete, and more than 24,000 Bangor homes have access to highly reliable, symmetrical (that means same upload and download speeds) fiber internet, with WiFi 6, which creates a mesh network that optimizes your home network daily, delivering the best home internet experience.

“Fidium is singlehandedly changing the way Mainers think about their internet service,” said Erik Garr, president of consumer and small business for Consolidated. “This year we’re bringing future-proof fiber internet to 150,000 addresses in Maine, making Fidium the largest fiber internet provider in Maine. I can’t wait for our customers in Bangor to see the benefits better internet provides to their work, their families and their community.”

With a 2 Gig plan, users can connect dozens of smart devices, stream ultra-high-definition video, join video conferences and connect multiple bandwidth-hungry devices simultaneously. While 1 Gig is Fidium’s most popular plan, 2 Gig plans can satisfy even the heaviest data users or those who just want the fastest symmetrical home internet.

  • An intelligent whole-home mesh WiFi 6 experience with a top-rated gateway and up to two extenders, if needed;
