Please Welcome Our Newest Member, GWI Great Works Internet!


Since 1994, GWI has been pushing the boundaries of high-speed internet access across the state of Maine with a little thing they like to call reliable internet service. More jobs. More creativity. More growth for Maine and Maine families.


Over the past 25 years they have learned a few things. First, if you have an issue, just try and restart it! 80% of the time it works all the time (kidding). Second, Mainers are an eclectic group. Hard-working, hard-nosed people who expect consistency and transparency. No tom-foolery here. Third, that high-speed internet is a crucial component to people’s livelihood. Having access to reliable, high-speed internet is rapidly becoming a requirement for communities to retain and attract population, drive economic development, and spur innovation.


To boil it all down: GWI is here to support the citizens and communities in Maine and is committed to expanding future-proof fiber networks to every corner of the state.
