Internet Service Providers in Orland area? (Bucksport, Castine: home, cost, moving to)

[toadling81]

We are moving to Orland in late January (the south Orland area on Castine Road). I work at home on the internet so high speed internet is a must for us, but I've found that the carrier we use now (Time Warner's Roadrunner) is not available in that area. Does anyone know if Fair Point does DSL in that area, or have any other recommendations? It's just a couple of minutes from Bucksport and it seems like there would be a few options. Any help is appreciated!

You'll have to call Fairpoint and give them the address you will be moving to, they can check while you're on the phone with them. I can't get it where I am- too far out in the sticks. I can get RoadRunner...IF I run enough cable and install an amplifier, or pay *them* almost $1k to do it.

Thanks Zymer - it appears from FairPoint's availability website it's not available there, but then that part of their website seems to be a couple of years old. I'll call them today and see....if DSL is not an option, we'd have to go with satellite, which I hate to do...we had to do that out in the sticks in NM last year and it cost a fortune and didn't work half the time, and plus when we moved we had to pay a $400 contract termination fee! I'll call about RoadRunner as well, just in case...what do you use where you are?
