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

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!!

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.

Nissan Leaf $18,000 (after rebates) +Kia Rio (gas) $20,000 = $38,000 or a Subaru Outback = $38,000 two for the price of one!

Considered it, but they need to get cheaper. My neighbor has an EV and he pays far less to charge it than I pay for gas.

I think it's a waste of money

Can't afford it.

What they neglect to tell people is that it causes more pollution creating the batteries for electric cars then what were already causing. These electric cars are not the awnser to our problems. Engines don't run on liquid gas they run off the fumes that it creates they can fix it but they won't!

Jane CommunityMember

Riiiight, because finding and extracting petroleum, refining it into gasoline, transporting it, and burning it is completely pollution free, LOL,

Charging them & keeping them charged has become an issue with recent cold weather.

Steven Huillet

Never will either!

k san

Wouldn't have one. Not enough charging stations, it loses mileage distance in cold weather, and the batteries can catch fire. No thank you! Would consider a hybrid but never an all-electric car.

Far too many children are being forced into slave labor just so idiots can say they are being good citizens of the planet.

Rick Allen

Absolutely NOT. That is going in the wrong direction and is going to be more of a problem than a help. It is ludacris and not viable. Global warming is a hoax, from the corrupt left. The Earth has been cooling and warming on and of for thousands of years! I do not like E V's!!!

Mark Mueller

What a scam. If everyone went to E Vehicles, we wouldn't have the power generating capacity to service them. Check out the amp draw on elec vehicles and figure it out. Guess we could build more nuke and coal plants to make up the difference.
