Find internet providers in Bangor, ME
Find internet offered in Bangor, ME – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Bangor, ME, your best bet is Fidium Fiber, covering ~69% of the city with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps. Its fiber service is a strong fit for streaming, gaming, and working from home, but confirm availability at your address. Spectrum is the practical runner-up, with cable reaching ~92% of the city and speeds up to 1000/35 Mbps, though fiber offers better uploads. In Fairmount, ZIP 04401, Fidium leads at 73.6%, while Spectrum reaches 19.8%, making it more fiber-forward than the citywide average. ZIP 04402 is even stronger for fiber, with Fidium at 98.2% and CRC Communications LLC at 1.8%. Little City, Tree Streets, and West Broadway can vary by block, so students near Husson University or Eastern Maine Community College should check apartment wiring, since older DSL or copper can struggle with Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Redzone Wireless is a worthwhile fixed-wireless budget alternative, reaching ~79% of the city with speeds up to 50/15 Mbps, while T-Mobile reaches ~26% with speeds up to 100/20 Mbps. Coverage can change street to street, so confirm the exact address before signing up, especially around Bangor Air National Guard Base.

Households with heavy streaming, gaming, remote work, or many connected devices should consider Mid-Maine Telecom LLC’s fiber plan a top-tier option, with up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload and a 93/100 Speed Score. Fiber availability is limited to 0.8% of Bangor, so the best technology may not reach your address; where only copper is available, speeds range from up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload to up to 75 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload, with Speed Scores from 7 to 56, meaning limited performance compared with alternatives.
About Mid-Maine Telecom LLC
Homes with heavy streaming, gaming, remote work, or multiple users should consider Mid-Maine Telecom LLC’s fiber plan, which offers up to 1000 Mbps both ways and is an excellent option when available. Fiber reaches 0.8% of census blocks, making it highly address-dependent, while the fallback copper plans, topping out at up to 75 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up, may be limiting for modern needs, so check for faster options first if fiber is unavailable.

About Verizon
5G fixed wireless uses a nearby cellular network, so it can handle streaming, video calls, and other everyday needs, though performance can vary more than with wired service.

Because fixed wireless can vary with local conditions, consider checking other providers first if you need consistently strong performance.
About Redzone Wireless LLC
Redzone Wireless LLC is a reasonable fallback for basic or moderate internet use, but check for faster fiber or cable service at your address first if it is available. Its fixed wireless plans reach 79.3% of Bangor and offer up to 250 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload, or up to 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload, but their Speed Scores of 60 and 56 are below average, so the lower-speed option may not meet the needs of a busy modern household.

Fusion is listed as available to 100.0% of Bangor, yet satellite’s high latency and limited performance make it worth checking what other services reach your address before signing up.
About HughesNet
At $39.99/mo, $49.99/mo, or $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, HughesNet offers up to 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, or 100 Mbps respectively, but its satellite plans have below-average Speed Scores of 1, 22, and 37. After the first 12 months, those prices rise to $49.99/mo, $74.99/mo, and $119.99/mo, so check whether faster fiber or cable service is available at your address before choosing this high-latency option, even though each plan is shown at 100.0% availability in Bangor.

Our recommendation for Bangor
Both plans offer up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload, which is mainly suited to basic browsing, email, and light streaming rather than demanding video calls or several simultaneous users. The fiber plan has the stronger Speed Score at 21/100, while the copper plan scores 7/100, so both offer limited performance compared with alternatives. Availability depends on your address, and fiber reaches only 0.3% of Bangor, so consider checking other providers first if Great Works Internet can offer only its copper plan.
About Great Works Internet
Up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload is suitable for basic browsing, email, and light streaming, but it may struggle with video calls or multiple users.

How We Analyze Internet in Bangor
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
Our proprietary score weights technology type (fiber=100%, cable=85%, etc.) with download (70%) and upload (30%) speeds, ranked as a state percentile.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Bangor report service availability from each provider.

How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
