Yet another person wrote on X, “Here’s an idea for you @FidiumFiber … have an outage map like other high quality companies. After all you’re in the internet business, FIX IT!”.
No official cause for the issues is know as of now.
However, this is not the first time in recent days that people have complained about Fidium Fiber. On November 19, a person on Facebook asked “Anyone else’s Fidium down this evening? Been on hold for 35 minutes trying to get an estimated time it’ll be back online. Update back online still never got my call answered lol.”
Some people bashed the customer service in comments. “Fidium customer service is horrible. I hope your issue gets resolved,” one remarked. Another slammed the company services, saying “Fidium is a joke. They’re trying to compete against spectrum by offering better prices but they don’t have the means to support this many users and keep steady connection stability. We have Fidium and it goes out all the time.”
Earlier this month too, a person had complained on social media: “Does Fidium go out this often always?? Seems almost every day we have pockets of Netwok Outage. I've only had them for a few months but seriously considering switching since I work from home.”
