Best Internet Providers in Orient, ME

Viasat Internet ranks as the leading provider in Orient, Maine, covering 98.20% of the town via satellite. Their service offers maximum download speeds of up to 150 Mbps and starts at $119.99 per month. This extensive coverage and high-speed access are crucial in a town where 100% of the internet connectivity depends on satellite options.

EarthLink 5G Home Internet provides a 5G connection to just 8.70% of Orient. Despite its limited reach, EarthLink delivers download speeds up to 100 Mbps with a more affordable starting price of $39.95 per month. Meanwhile, HughesNet, another satellite provider, also ensures complete coverage in Orient. It matches EarthLink's maximum download speed of 100 Mbps, with a starting price of $49.99 per month, offering a competitive alternative within satellite services.

The nearly universal satellite coverage from Viasat and HughesNet is essential for Orient, where fiber connections are non-existent and cable internet services cover only 36% of the town. This heavy reliance on satellite underlines the crucial role these providers play in bridging connectivity gaps in areas lacking traditional wired internet. Fixed wireless options, covering 97% of Orient, offer a robust alternative, but the absence of fiber and limited cable availability highlight the need for comprehensive satellite services to ensure residents remain connected.
