Learn about getting internet to your home.
Types of Home Internet
In today’s world there are multiple kinds of internet that you can get at home.
Fiber Internet
Fiber refers to fiber optic internet, and often provides the fastest and most reliable internet. There are multiple companies in the state of Oregon that provide fiber internet, including: Quantum, Emerald Broadband, and Hunter Fiber. There may be more of course.
The key is understanding what fits your budget and what is allowed by your landlord if you are renting.
Mobile Hotspot Internet
If you already have a cell phone, your provider may offer hotspot internet at a relatively low cost. This option can work well for browsing on a laptop or tablet, but it is usually less effective for streaming and often includes data limits of around 15 to 30 GB per month.
Cable and Other Providers
If your dwelling has a modern cable hookup, you can also try Xfinity from Comcast, just be aware of their cost models that do change over time.
