Are You Paying Too Much for Internet? Compare Local Fiber Prices in Maine
Most Mainers pay more than they need to for Internet. See how Pioneer Broadband’s $68 gigabit fiber plan stacks up against national and local competitors.
💡 Are You Paying Too Much for Internet?
How many choices do you really have for Internet where you live?
Most people never stop to count — but it matters.
In my own area, I have a few options:
Pioneer Broadband (our local fiber provider)
Consolidated DSL
Spectrum Cable TV Internet
And yes, Starlink satellite service
That’s four choices. But are they really equal?
Comparing Apples to Oranges 🍎🍊
At Pioneer Broadband, we did what we call our “Apples and Oranges Study.”
We compared our fiber service against the local telephone company’s fiber product.
How did we get the data? Simple — we pay for Internet service for several of our own technicians who live outside our service area. So we know exactly what “the other guy” charges.
Over two years, the difference was eye-opening.
If you stuck with Pioneer instead of switching, you’d save $460.
That’s not a marketing gimmick — that’s real money in your pocket.
The Power of Local Fiber
Pioneer’s gigabit symmetrical service costs $67.95 plus fees and taxes — which comes out to about $68.13.
That gets you 1,000 megabits per second upload and download, direct from a local provider who lives and works right here in your community.
For less than $70 a month, you get speed, reliability, and support from people who actually pick up the phone.
Do the Research Yourself
Don’t take my word for it — open a browser and Google this:
“Average cost of gigabit Internet in the United States.”
You’ll see what I mean.
Pioneer isn’t just competitive — we’re better for your wallet and for your community.
Final Thought
If you live in a Pioneer Broadband coverage area and you’re still using another provider, you’re probably paying too much.
It’s that simple.
You don’t need hype. You need honest, affordable, high-speed Internet.
That’s what Pioneer Broadband delivers — one home, one community at a time.
