About LymeFiber

LymeFiber is a community-centered project offering fiber-optic internet service to residences, businesses and public organizations in Lyme, and now in Orford and Hanover. Service ranges from 100 Mbps up to 1 Gbps. Every plan is symmetrical (the same speed up and down) and free of data caps.

The network is owned and governed by the local residents who built it, and who commit to putting our community first. An outside operating partner handles day-to-day operations, support, billing and repairs. Starting in 2027 that partner is WCVT; see 2027 Transition.

Our goals

• Universal Coverage. We aim to provide high-speed, fiber-optic-based internet service to every reachable business and residence in our service area.
• Net Neutrality. LymeFiber will not throttle or otherwise interfere with your data.
• A Future-Proof Design. Fiber-optic cable provides almost unlimited capacity for whatever new applications come along.
• Competitive Pricing. The cost of our service will be competitive with similar service elsewhere in the region.
• Community Focus. Bringing a needed service to our community is our primary goal.
