Best Internet Providers in Bethel, ME

Spectrum dominates as the leading internet service provider in Bethel, Maine. Utilizing both cable and fiber networks, Spectrum services are available to 56% of the town. With a whopping maximum download speed of up to 1 Gbps, Spectrum offers plans beginning at $49.99 per month. Their impressive speed and dependable service make them an excellent choice for consumers.

However, Spectrum isn't the only game in town. Viasat Internet and Hughesnet, both satellite service providers, offer full coverage to the Bethel community, compensating for the limited reach of cable and fiber connections. Viasat dials in with a maximum download speed of 30 Mbps, while Hughesnet delivers up to 25 Mbps. Both feature plans starting at $49.99 per month. Although their speeds can't rival Spectrum's, they make up for it with ubiquitous availability—an asset in Bethel where cable connections serve 56% and fiber just 34% of the population.

Hence, despite Spectrum's speed supremacy, Viasat and Hughesnet are strong contenders for internet service—particularly for those outside of Spectrum's coverage area.
