Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Maine

Jake R.
Spectrum Cable
July 11, 2025 I got Spectrum nearly 3 years ago now, when I moved in with my girlfriend who was just using cell hotspots for all of her internet - which was awful, but suited her very limited internet needs. I got lucky that the state of Maine was subsidizing internet for that year, which cut the price down by some $35, enough to get the lowest end internet for free, but I play online video games and stream Youtube or TV very frequently, so I went for a higher speed internet which was - and still is, even without the subsidy - a reasonable enough price.
We haven't had much in the way of instability, and downloads go by quick. The few times we've had outages due to weather, everything gets up and running again very quick, sometimes we'll get an email informing us the internet is fixed even before the power grid is fully repaired. I haven't shopped around overmuch, so I don't know for certain if the prices are better than their competitors, but Spectrum has very much so been a 'set it and forget it' situation for us, which frees us to worry about the other more important things in our lives.

December 31, 2023 I was offered fiduim fiber been waiting on them to get it to my house i live rural and my wires are under ground which is probably what is causing the delay.

Fidium Fiber
September 16, 2026 Service is okay. Fidium customer service is abominable. They told me when I signed up that at the year mark, I could call and keep the same pricing - $67.50 per month. I called, they said it was granted, then they proceeded to bill me $87.50 for the next six months. I called every month, until I finally gave up, paid them the $87.50 and then my bill went to $90. I called to terminate their service in per disgust for this company (to Spectrum for better service, $15 lower a month plus streaming of certain channels). They said I would get a sticker in the mail to return their box - that it would arrive in 5 - 7 days. I got their bill - they charged me for THE FULL MONTH, they did not prorate the bill from the stop date. I called twice - one customer service person said it would be prorated, the second said it would not, the supervisor said that it would be. I am STILL waiting to get their return sticker in the mail. DO NOT sign up with this company - they WILL NOT deliver what they promise, then they put you through heck and high water to fix back to what they promised you originally. I am exceptionally glad to be rid of them!!!

September 11, 2026 First. They lie about the promotional price. They claim $30. But bill you $50. Their internet drops off and on. up to 40 minutes. Tried calling them about the internet dropping. Called 4 times in the same day. First 2 times. Busy signal. 3rd time, Said call connecting. Nothing happened after that. 4th time. Phone just rang and rang and rang. Have had them for 2 or 3 months. Useless internet/Company.
