On April 24 Fidium announced a major expansion of its 100% fiber-to-the-premise network services, introducing new 5 Gig and up to 8 Gig symmetrical speed tiers alongside next-generation WiFi 7 technology in Katy . Katy is the first market in Texas where Fidium is rolling out these new multi-gig services, with additional communities planned.

The launch enhances Fidium’s fiber connectivity for Katy residents and businesses, delivering symmetrical multi-gig performance designed to support today’s most bandwidth-intensive uses – from remote work and online learning to streaming, gaming, smart home systems and emerging AI-powered applications.

Katy customers can now experience Fidium’s fastest residential internet speeds to date, with WiFi 7 included with 5 Gig and up to 8 Gig service. WiFi 7 is the latest generation of wireless technology, designed to deliver multi-gig performance and lower latency across every connected device.

“We believe we earn customers by delivering a superior product and putting customers first,” said Dan Sumner, chief marketing officer at Fidium. “Fiber gives us a structural advantage over legacy cable providers that built their networks for television, not for today’s internet-driven households. With multi-gig speeds up to 8 Gig and WiFi 7 included, we’re raising the competitive standard in our markets again and redefining what premium connectivity should feel like.”

Those who want to be among the first to experience Fidium’s 5 Gig and up to 8 Gig service with WiFi 7 can sign up for availability notifications at FidiumFiber.com/get8gig.

With this launch, Fidium increases its maximum home internet speeds from 2 Gig to up to 8 Gig, representing a fourfold increase in peak upload and download performance. At maximum available speeds, 8 Gig service delivers upload performance up to 120 times faster than typical cable internet, highlighting the performance gap between purpose-built fiber networks and legacy infrastructure. End-to-end fiber connectivity also translates into greater reliability and smoother performance, officials said.

As device density, AI-powered applications, immersive entertainment and cloud-based work continue to expand, speed to the modem is no longer enough. Customers expect seamless, low-latency connectivity throughout their entire home or office. Fidium’s combination of symmetrical multi-gig fiber and whole-home WiFi powered by WiFi 7 is designed to meet that demand.

Serving the Greater Houston metropolitan area, Fidium is known for its award-winning reliability and high customer satisfaction, recently being named a Best of Katy winner and the Highest Quality Gaming ISP in the South Region in PCMag’s 2026 ISP rankings.
