I'm located in Portland, and have already used my modem in Beaverton and Hillsboro. Heck, with a power converter, I can even use it in my car. Also, I'm month to month, so, worst case, I'm out just a $35 activation fee, and I can go back to comcast. Now, it'll be interesting to see the speed and connection consistancy as more users begin to sign up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21666701 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 18:19:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21662966 mystryfiostk : That area down there was also an early FiOS market and is Comcast territory. A lot of tech folks in the western suburbs and the city of Portland is chock full of young educated hipsters. No surprise on their decision to launch in Portland.

I can see the $30/3Mb plan getting action for the home plans.
People are cutting back, and face it, 3Mb would cut it for alot of the internet users out there.

But $50 for 6Mb is over the top since FiOS is available at that price for 20Mb - and then there's Comcast.

Intel is the largest private employer in Oregon with their operations in the western Portland suburbs. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21662966 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:26:12 EDT
