Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Oregon
Customer Reviews
Mathew S.
Douglas Fast Net Fiber
January 11, 2025 Douglas Fastnet has been a breath of fresh air compared to my past experiences with an unnamed ISP. The customer service has been fantastic, they have been quick to help me with any issues and setup was cheap and painless. As far as my Internet connection goes, it has been far more reliable compared to what we had before, with only a few minor outages. Granted we did move into a new home at the point of switching ISP's, but the difference in reliability is noticeable. I would recommend anyone in the Douglas County area to give DFN a call and ask about service they are great.
Ray W.
CenturyLink DSL
July 04, 2024 The sign up process for Century Link was simple. But everything after that was very difficult. The activation date was set for a certain date, but it did not work that day because they said that it would not require a tech, but it did. After that the tech rescheduled 3 times. All in all it took 3 weeks for service to be activated. On top of that they are the only ones allowed to service my area. They charge $70 a month for 10 Mbps speeds. Were I able to choose my provider I could get 20 times the speed for 15-20 less per month.

Ziply Fiber
May 09, 2026 Ziply Fiber provides trouble free, fast internet service, including high upload bandwidth if needed. Unlike other local cable operators, Ziply internet service has very little downtime, and customer service and tech support provided timely updates on the status of the brief loss in connection. Ziply does not impose bandwith cap extortion like some other cable operators; there is unlimited high speed bandwidth. Setup and installation were simple and easily scheduled. Customer service was and has been friendly, pleasant, and professional.
I highly recommend Ziply Fiber internet service if you are in their service area.
