Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Oregon
Customer Reviews
Dalton T
Spectrum Cable
September 24, 2025 The provider is reliable and fast compared to others. Previously used Ziply Fiber and it was incredibly slow. Also compared to them if you call tech support you get a real person showing up significantly faster. The plans are decently priced for the speed and will have my service till fiber optics or something better comes along.
Romayne C.
Illinois Valley Data DSL
February 24, 2025 Illinois Valley Data is what a small town ISP should be.
Friendly folks who explain carefully what you would be most satisfied with when setting up service. They are almost always available on the phone or call you back quickly when you have an issue. They have plans to fit all budgets I could not be more happy with my service.

Spectrum Cable
May 08, 2023 Our internet provider has been nothing but attentive to most of our issues. Any time there is any sort of issue they come to our house to make sure everything is okay and working properly. There have been numerous times where we have lost connection from the internet and they are very quick to troubleshoot and that fixes the issue. We have had this service for years and the connection is the best for our area. From what I have heard this service also has the best price for our area as well.
