Like neighbors Dublin and Rindge, Jaffrey has selected Consolidated Communications to provide town-wide broadband internet service to every address in town, if voters approve a ten-year $1.2 million bond for the project.
During its regular board meeting Tuesday, the Jaffrey Select Board considered proposals from both Consolidated Communications and Comcast to provide fiber internet to underserved residents. The federal definition of broadband internet is 3 Mbps for download speed, and 25 Mbps for upload speed – both must be true to qualify as high speed internet.

Town would become company’s ninth fiber-to-the-rural premises community
February 25, 2021
Yet another step may soon be taken in New Hampshire’s effort to bring broadband to the rural areas around the state.
The Monadnock Region town of Jaffrey has selected Consolidated Communications to establish town-wide broadband internet service to every address in town, pending voter approval of a ten-year $1.2 million bond for the project.
Construction of the so-called fiber-to-the-premises network is expected to be completed within two years.
Consolidated has agreed to underwrite the bond for the infrastructure and will use a set user fee – about $11 a month – to pay back the bond.
