Vermont Business Magazine With speeds 20 times faster than the national average, Fidium Fiber, a new gigabit broadband internet service from Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL), is primed to give customers an entirely new internet experience they’ve been missing.

Fidium’s symmetrical, gigabit fiber internet service comes without the hassle of data caps, contracts or required bundles, and is now available in Brattleboro, Montpelier, Rutland and numerous other towns, with new locations rolling out weekly across Vermont.
