• ISP Roundup: New networks launched in Kittery, Maine and Abbeville, Louisiana (bbcmag.com) — Residents in Kittery can now sign up for GoNetspeed's new fiber internet service, as the under-construction network has begun serving customers following a $1.7 million investment. The company says more neighborhoods and local businesses will be connected as work continues, mirroring a larger buildout in nearby York. Faster speeds could improve remote work, streaming, and online learning options for Kittery households.
