Where can I get online?

While Maine can be digitally “spotty,” there are many places that provide Wi-Fi, often with 24-hour access, and cell phone coverage is improving as towns permit towers to be built and activated. Cell phone coverage goes from five bars to none with a dip in the road, so be forewarned—or turn off your phone and enjoy your vacation!
