Let's talk about Maine weather. 🌧️⚡

We all know Maine weather can be wild, but did you know fiber internet doesn't care?

Because fiber optic cables use light instead of electricity, they are completely immune to electromagnetic interference. That means summer thunderstorms, power line surges, and radio signals won't interrupt your connection.

Get internet that weathers the storm.

It's time for The Daily Gig! 🔬

It’s hard to believe, but the glass strands inside our fiber optic cables that carry all your high-speed internet traffic are incredibly tiny. In fact, each strand is roughly the diameter of a single human hair!

Though they are microscopic, they can handle massive amounts of data, keeping your whole home connected without breaking a sweat.

One of our absolute favorite things about living and working in Maine is our incredible small business community. From the corner bakeries that fuel our mornings to the local hardware stores that save our weekend projects, Maine runs on local businesses.

Since our motto is "Neighbors Serving Neighbors," we want to use today to shout out some of our fellow neighbors!

Tag your favorite local Maine small business in the comments below and show them some love! 💙
