Maine ranks 24th for high speed Internet

Maine Public Broadcasting - Maine ranks 24 in the nation for high-speed internet access, but it is dead last in New England. New census data indicate that that rate varies widely among the state's counties. New England has some of the highest rates of broadband access in the nation with New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the top two positions, between 87 and 89 percent. Just under 83 percent of Mainers have a subscription to broadband internet at home, and that number is lower in rural areas.
