Summary
GWI (Biddeford Internet Corp)
isp eyeball legacy
BIDDEFORD1 is Biddeford Internet Corporation, which does business as GWI (Great Works Internet), a Maine internet provider founded in 1994 and still headquartered in Biddeford.
What it's used for
- Residential and business internet in Maine and parts of New Hampshire: fiber today, and before that DSL, cable and dial-up.
Notable
- An eyeball network: most addresses terminate on subscriber connections rather than servers.
- The registry still carries the original 1994 corporate name even though the company has traded as GWI since 1997, which is why the handle reads like a town rather than a brand.
Interesting
- GWI designs, funds and operates open fiber networks for Maine municipalities rather than only selling retail service, and it is a certified B Corporation, an unusual structure for a broadband carrier.
