I grew up in that area and Howland isn’t great. I probably wouldn’t live there. Passadumkeag also isn’t great. Enfield, Lowell, even Burlington would be better towns in my opinion. You are off route 2 so there is less traffic. The landscape is just prettier because you have lakes and less developed rivers. People out there are interesting, but if you need to see normal civilization it is only about 30 minutes to old town Orono.

I’ll also add that I know for certain that Enfield, Lowell, Burlington, Lincoln have high speed internet on route 155 and 188
