No the quality of the Internet here in Central Oregon is a national embarrassment. It's pathetic. In talking with people in Japan and all over Asia, they just laugh at us. Even countries like Bulgari have much better Internet.

It's s-l-o-w!!

Upload speeds are pathetic. TDS refuses to upgrade to fiber in legacy communities and it if hurting businesses. I own a design firm and had faster upload speeds 17 years ago in Lake Oswego for less money.

Bruce Couch

I was quoted $25k by TDS to get symmetrical speeds (fiber) at my home 7 years ago. for the last decade city council is ignoring how the lack of decent broadband is hurting the economy.

It's not the speed or reliability that is a problem. It is the price.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
