Portland Residential Internet Coverage

In the coastal city of Portland, residents and businesses can choose the internet service plan that fits their budget and speed needs. This is due to the huge variety of ISPs that have Portland networks.

Cable service is accessible in all of Portland through Time Warner Spectrum. The service area expands well beyond the city limits, providing options to those in nearby suburban and rural areas. Covered neighborhoods include Riverton, Deering Junction, Rosemont, and Woodfords.

Networkmaine is also fairly established in Portland. This ISP brings coverage to communities as far north as Auburn, as far south as Stroudwater, as far west as Nason's Corner, and as far east as Peak's Island.

Both Axiom Technologies and FairPoint Communications have networks that extend beyond Portland's borders. Both providers have a network that serves all of Portland and expands to communities in the north, west, and south. One Communications boasts a similar network.

One of the most widespread networks in Portland is GWI. The coverage area of GWI reaches areas like downtown, Munjoy Hill, and Oakdale.

A handful of Portland neighborhoods enjoy reliable service through New Edge Networks. This ISP serves the neighborhoods of East End and Munjoy in the south.

Fine product but horrible business practices. From charging you for equipment you never asked for, to raising your bill without any notification. I called to cancel my service, and their retention employees are the worst of them all. They keep you on the line and will tell you anything not to switch their service. My bill went from 85 a month to 125. I called to cancel, and they said they can give me the same speeds at just 25. I said it was too late, and I wont do business with a shady company. The terrible person then tried for 15 minutes to sell me on the company, despite my repeated requests to just cancel the service. He even ended up calling me stupid for going for a higher price at a different company, and yes that's what I would prefer after betrayal. Horrible experience, I am so glad another company has moved in to break up the monopoly Spectrum has in the area.

No problem with service or speed, but has to be one of the most brutal customer service experiences I've ever had with a utility. Forty minute conversation literally to disconnect service. This should be a 10 minute call max. Customer service rep assured me she had to play forty questions with me before they could do anything for me. Absolutely abysmal. Avoid if you can.

Called spectrum to find out why my bill was $110 a month and told them I was thinking about switching to t mobile for $50 a month. They said they could bring the bill down to $80. I called the next day to cancel service and it was then they offered to bring the bill down to $50. What kind of service is this? Absolutely trash customer service and they should be ashamed of themselves!
