1 edit |  Relative fewer # of users is the reason
Given the relatively fewer number of users in Maine and the sparse population density, Maine is lucky they are only 35th in the nation in average download speeds. Other than the CWA wanting to protect their high paying jobs, there is no reason Maine should be higher in the ratings than that.

| Maine is reaping what it has sown. Throughout the '90's, Maine and the Maine PUC were about as hostile as any state to competitive entry, protecting NYNEX/BA/VZ interests religiously. Only one CLEC (Brooks Fiber) entered Maine, and they got hammered every legislative and regulatory way they could. Maine is getting what it deserves from VZ (act like a doormat and expect to get treated like one) and Maine now also has no option to tell people they can wipe their feet elsewhere.
