Fiber internet buildout for 2,400 homes and businesses in Waterbury-area begins as Fidium Fiber expands service coverage in Vermont
Vermont Business Magazine Fidium Fiber is expanding service coverage of its all-fiber internet network to 2,400 homes and businesses in Waterbury, Moretown and Duxbury. Construction is scheduled to begin by Monday, June 12, with local build-out scheduled for the coming weeks. More than 80,000 Vermonters can now order Fidium Fiber, and through this expansion thousands more homes and small businesses will soon have access to Fidium’s multi-gig speed fiber internet service.
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, cleaning up after themselves and will aim to minimize any disruption.
We know this work could be inconvenient for our community and appreciate your patience while we upgrade new neighborhoods to 100% 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.
