    What is the best internet provider in Portland?

    Xfinity is the best internet provider in Portland. It has the widest coverage, the fastest cable speeds, and options for cheap internet starting at $19.99 per month.

    CenturyLink comes in behind Xfinity, boasting equally widespread coverage but a more limited set of options. CenturyLinkā€™s fiber internet plan is a steal of a deal, but most Portland customers will likely be stuck with the providerā€™s much slower DSL connection.

    Several smaller providers, including Ziply, infoStructure, and , also offer fiber and DSL options for homes and businesses. Those living in rural areas can tap into satellite internet with Viasat or Hughesnet.

    Highest-rated internet providers in Portland

    T-Mobile Home Internet is the highest rated ISP in Portland, according to our annual customer satisfaction survey. Customers gave T-Mobile’s 5G home internet some of the highest scores in the survey, ranking T-Mobile near the top in all categories.

    Xfinity customers also gave great ratings, especially in the category of speed. Xfinity received the highest speed ratings among national providers for the second year in a row; 93% of Xfinity customers said their internet speeds meet the needs of their household.

    CenturyLink didn’t receive high overall scores, but we think that’s largely due to its DSL internet. CenturyLink’s fiber customers gave excellent ratings. And to sweeten the deal, CenturyLink customers reported the fewest price hikes among national ISPs.

    Portland residential internet coverage

    Xfinity and CenturyLink are the two main internet providers in Portland. They both have very large networks in the cityā€”although their speeds and packages are much different.

    Xfinity is a cable provider, with fast speeds as well as many cheap packages and regular deals. CenturyLink is a DSL and fiber provider, with gigabit speeds available in limited areas but mostly slower speeds at a bargain rate.

    Ziply is another somewhat large internet provider in Portland. It recently took over the fiber and DSL infrastructure previously operated by Frontier, so it provides both services to some parts of the city.

    You can also get internet from local and regional providers like infoStructure and . Either of them may be worth looking into, since local ISPs are known to offer more accessible and reliable customer service compared to national competitors.

    Last but not least, Hughesnet and Viasat provide satellite coverage in and around Portland. Satellite is generally quite expensive and has limited speeds and data, but itā€™s useful in areas where fiber, cable, or DSL options arenā€™t available. Hard to reach pockets of the Willamette Valley might require satellite service.

    PortlandĀ hasĀ fast internet in the Silicon Forest

    We canā€™t talk about Portland without mentioning the city of Hillsboro, the famed tech hub in Washington County.

    The fastest internet youā€™ll find in the Silicon Forest comes from Xfinity, with speeds up to 1,200 Mbps. CenturyLink also offers a fiber gigabit plan in Hillsboro, but you may have to be content with DSL if youā€™re going with CenturyLink.

    Century Link is extorting me. After20 years with the same service and our modem needed to be replaced. We were charged 200.00 for replacement. I asked for a payment plan. No. We just paid 219.00 and they are sending demand letters before we even got our next bill. Internet is no longer a luxury , it is as essential as gas and lights. Thereā€™s got to be another way without supporting a monopoly minded company.

    Speed can be good...as long as you have their equipment and know what you are doing. They will not help you after and may raise rates without tell you. WHEN it is working it can be good. I spent hours with customer service reps who kept forgetting my name and problem to be constantly told to buy Quantum Fiber which wouldn't offer any difference in speed or price. Waste of time to deal with them.
