HIGH-SPEED INTERNET UPDATE

The Selectmen have contacted one of our town’s providers (Fidium) and the State Department of Business & Economic Affairs (BEA) to find out when the remaining households in Surry will have access to high-speed internet service.  We learned that the state will be addressing all the remaining unserved/underserved areas throughout the state. In the case of Surry, 83.6% of the homes have access to 100Mbps download speed, and only 16.4% are considered either unserved or underserved.  The good news is that the BEA anticipates having NH up to 100% in all communities, but to address the remaining residences, between the funding and bidding process, that goal will not be achieved until mid to late 2025. If any additional information becomes available, we will be sure to keep you updated.
