I'm not in that big of hurry

We have Webformix. Fast enough for streaming and relatively inexpensive.

Off the path

Been with BBB for years, never really had a problem.

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.

Dianne Price

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

Bruce Couch

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.

I have 1 Gbps with no caps from Bend Broadband. Bought my own modem at Best Buy; no rental fees. Usually test over 850-900 Mbps (with a hard wired ethernet connection to the router.

Dieter Heinzer

Yup - you get what you pay for! Unlike some areas of greater Bend, I have had zero problems with my cable internet provider (BBB) for the last 20+ years.

Christi Wrench

I've had US Cellular phone service for 8 years now. I just switched to their home internet, free modem, $50 a month. With the ACP program it's $20 a month. I'm very satisfied so far!

sharder8

Ziply, 1Gb down, 1Gb up for $50 a month . . . Try and beat that BBB!

A few years ago, there were very few choices available. Now there's cell phone providers with Internet. My choice back then used DSL and it's often choked off by other users, or system inadequacy of another sort. Prices are lower now buying faster speeds for less. Changed providers this morning.

I live in Sisters and my speed is supposed to be 600Mbps...Never comes close to that, and Bendbroadband doesn't have an Internet speed test...

Jane CommunityMember

There's plenty of internet speed tests online (e.g., Google and others). In order to reliably test close to 600 Mbps you'll need a 1 Gbps ethernet connection to the modem.

We have Bend Broad Band. Poor WiFi reception and system. Had them out several times and even bought a new TV. Wasn’t the TV at all. It was their box that broke down. So frustrated!

k san

Just bought a wi-fi extender. I think it improves speeds slightly, but still not very fast!

Phil Spreier

BendBroadband is one of the worst businesses I have had the displeasure of using. Horrible service and management.

Teresa Parsons

CenturyLink needs to offer higher speed internet in our area and we refuse to sign back.up with the only cable company in Central Oregon. Especially now that it's owned by a huge company out of state.
