More Mainers can quickly email photos, download music and surf the Internet now that FairPoint Communications has expanded broadband service to an additional 410 homes and businesses in Edgecomb.
FairPoint high-speed Internet is available for the first time to these eligible customers in the community.
Since April 2008, FairPoint has invested more than $124 million in the communications infrastructure and technology to bring broadband to northern New England, including building over 700 miles of new fiber across the region. FairPoint’s new fiber-based, high capacity network – called VantagePoint – offers customers a better, faster way to communicate.
“Broadband access opens doors to the world for the residents and businesses in Maine and is fundamental to the state’s future economic growth,” said Mike Reed, FairPoint’s Maine state president.
“Our employees are working every day to build more broadband across the state. We are pleased to announce the availability of high-speed Internet for these residents in Edgecomb,” Reed said.
This expansion is part of FairPoint’s plan to increase broadband access to 83 percent of its service areas in Maine by the end of the year. High-speed connection areas include portions of the following roads in Edgecomb: Barker, Boothbay, Chubbuck, Clover, Clifford, Creek, Cross Point, Cunningham, Deckhouse, Eddy, High Head, Gleason, Hemlock Hill, Lawrence, Mason, McKay, Meadowville, Middle, Mill, Modockowando, Old County, Parson’s Point, Riverside, Robin, Shadis, Shore, Spruce Ridge, Taylor, Town Hall and Webb.
