Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Oregon
Customer Reviews
Regina R
Hunter Communications Fiber
February 13, 2025 Hunter communications is very good service. No outages or slower speeds, even in rural areas. Their customer service is prompt and very pleasant
An Oregon Customer
Hunter Communications Fiber
January 16, 2025 I moved from cable to Fiber a few years ago. I've had two technical problems in 24 months, which was quickly handled via technical support. I feel Hunter is way overpriced for this geographical location. Fortunately they are in competition with Spectrum (Charter Cable) so pricing is not a pain point for many fiber consumers yet.
Jeff L
Hunter Communications Fiber
January 08, 2025 They are a smaller provider but are fantastic. Consistent uptime, great speeds. The two times I’ve had to contact customer service have been great. They have a local team for support.
All of that would be enough, but they guarantee your price is good for life. That was ultimately why I left my previous provider (a major cable company). My price went up $15 a month in one year.
