To get to where we want to go - we have to know where we are starting. Take the Maine Speedtest: https://www.mainebroadbandcoalition.org/

The Maine Broadband Coalition has launched a statewide crowdsourcing data collection effort to help demonstrate where there is internet service, who provides it and how fast it is. The Coalition is crowdsourcing and visualizing the speed testing information to provide users, along with local and state officials with up-to-date service maps. The Get Up To Speed Initiative will generate the most granular data set and map of the presence and quality of Internet in Maine ever.

Testing your internet's speed is one of the easiest - and most important ways to inform and accelerate building better internet in Old Town and Orono.
