Cecile    Xfinity
5/3/24

I’ve only had Xfinity for a few months on my service. I get from them is fantastic. I have had no interruptions and my speed is always there. I have no problems with it. It works great!

Anonymous T-Mobile

They shipped first router to wrong city, sent me another one, and charged me for both. I spent hours over many days/weeks with customer service, was even hung up on by a supervisor?

Anonymous Spectrum
6/3/24

When I moved … I moved my equipment between the locations and simply had to plug it in and call Spectrum to transfer service. While the process was super easy and simple, I was still charged a connection/ setup charge and was unable to utilize any promotions. My new apartment building doesn’t have any alternative options for internet service so Spectrum is free to charge whatever they want to the residents…

Maine internet assistance

Maine residents can access low-cost internet from federal programs like Lifeline or provider programs that offer discounted options to eligible customers. The Maine Connectivity Authority (MCA) also provides resources and information regarding Maine’s broadband expansion efforts.

Lifeline: Lifeline is a federal program that provides $9.25/mo. toward internet, cellphone or bundled services.

Maine Connectivity Authority: The MCA leads Maine’s statewide broadband expansion and digital equity initiative.

Internet provider programs: Internet providers in Maine, such as Spectrum, Xfinity and T-Mobile, offer low-cost internet options for eligible customers. Eligibility is generally based on income or participation in a government assistance program.

The future of internet in Maine

Maine will receive $272 million in Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program funding to expand broadband access in unserved and underserved areas. Next steps involve the selection of the ISPs, or subgrantees, that will actually build out internet infrastructure in the areas throughout Maine that need it.

Apart from BEAD funding, the MCA also works to expand internet access across the state. MCA’s mission is to connect everyone in the state with the connections, devices, skills and security they need. So far, the MCA has funded broadband connections for over 86,000 homes and businesses in Maine. In the coming years, the MCA aims to improve upon slow or unreliable internet connections and invest in infrastructure to increase connectivity across the state.
