I recently moved to the Farmington area about 8 months ago and I've been pulling my hair out over getting internet installed in my apartment. Every time I go to an internet provider's website and put in my address/zip code, I keep getting told that they don't provide service to my area. For those who live here, what internet provider do you use? It's driving me nuts; I keep having to go to free wi-fi hotspots and I'm getting sick of it.

Metrocast provided my internet service when I lived there, and still
does - I'm sure. Just moved away last year, after 8 years with Metro.

The main office is in Belmont @ (603) 524-4425. I suggest you contact them
directly via phone instead of online, since that hasn't worked for you.

Good luck.

We are in the back woods, and use Dish tv and can not get cable. We use Farirpoint phone for a wi fi connection and there are 3 systems in his house all running internet off the same wifi router.

I'm not in Farmington.
But up here in boonyland - cable does not go everywhere.
Cable comanies sign an agreement with the town.
Go to the town hall and ask if your street is covered.

The telephone company is Fairpoint. Fairpoint customer service is located in Maine. Fairpoint customer service in Maine sometimes has old maps.
Talk to any local Fairpoint installer when you see one and ask that person. They actually know where service is and is not. DSL or whatever it is called now.
