CONSTRUCTION ALERT: Fiber Internet Expansion
Construction begins in the Danforth, Orient and Weston-area, as Fidium Fiber expands multi-gig service to more than 1,000 homes and businesses
What: Fidium Fiber is expanding service of its all-fiber internet network to more than 1,000 homes and businesses in the Danforth, Orient and Weston, Maine-area. Construction is scheduled to begin as soon as March 15. Through this fiber expansion, thousands of local residents and business owners in these communities will 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, clean 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 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.
