Maine Broadband Coalition has created a broadband speed test for towns to measure service quality as well as unserved areas. Quality is most often a matter of speed. This data is most important for the purposes of funding.
Currently, Bridgton is reported as having “robust coverage” (in the 90% range), which is contrary to many resident experiences and puts us out of reach of available grants that could help cover costs for expanding broadband in the town. It is also important to measure actual speeds versus stated service speeds from your provider. If you do not have broadband access at your location, there is a place where you can report that as well.
We hope everyone will take a moment to take the test. Thanks!
