Maine is connecting the coast and the county with fiber

Maine's broadband push is bringing fiber-to-the-home to Greater Portland, the Lewiston and Auburn area, Bangor, Augusta, and the coastal and inland towns that have relied on slow copper for years. Providers and community networks need independent broadband technicians who can run long aerial drops, splice and test fiber, and handle coax service calls in every kind of weather.
