How we review internet in Maine

Our methodology

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction.

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 290 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.

We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

Cecile Xfinity

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

5/28/24

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?

2/5

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…

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.
