The power of local! State-of-the-art products and services provided with old-school customer service!

Technology’s advancement occurs at such an accelerated rate these days that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up. Even for the most tech-savvy among us, there is the general understanding that once the latest gadgets hit the market, they’re already obsolete. It wasn’t that long ago that we were all still using dial-up modems! Fancy gadgetry aside, what most of us are primarily concerned with is our internet connection. Our modern lifestyles are completely dependent upon it, and if that connection is slow or spotty, it’s a problem. Fortunately, for those living in Dallas and Rickreall, it takes just one call to Willamette Valley Fiber to resolve all your connection issues!

You may not be familiar with the name. Willamette Valley Fiber is a relatively new entity having been founded in 2018. However, they are a subsidiary of MINET (Monmouth Independence Network) which has been providing the best service in the industry to Monmouth and Independence, Oregon since 2006. In fact, the existence of Willamette Valley Fiber itself is a testament to the success of MINET. Outgrowing their original service area, they have expanded into Dallas, and most recently, Rickreall. It just goes to show that when an organization prioritizes customer service and their appreciation for the local community, good things happen.

Willamette Valley Fiber operates a cutting edge fiber-to-the-home internet and phone service with data speeds up to 1 gigabyte. They are the only fiber-to-the-home provider in the market, a responsibility they do not take lightly, and their infrastructure (including resiliency and redundancy) has been built-in to be future proof. Fiber is the state-of-the-art, highest quality connection available, and the most synchronous— meaning the upload and download speeds are equal.

Most importantly, by choosing Willamette Valley Fiber, you are choosing local! Everyone on staff lives and works locally, and they are highly involved in the community. Their vans have the Dallas cityscape painted on the side, and their signature color is orange, after the Dallas High School Dragons. These are your friends and neighbors, and the level of service you receive is a reflection of that. Case in point, in 2020 they received the Dallas Community Award for Business of the Year!

Tired of that slow, spotty old internet connection, and even spottier customer service? Contact Willamette Valley Fiber today. It’ll be the smartest decision you’ve made all year! The 1st month of gig service is free for all new customers. Call now and take advantage of their current special: rent a Plume Pod (providing mesh Wi-Fi) from them for 1 year for only $4.99/month!

Willamette Valley Fiber is located at 988 SE Jefferson St. in Dallas. For more info on their services, visit their website at wvalleyfiber.com, or give them a call at 503-837-1700.
