Broadband Internet Services

What is broadband?
In the past, the only way to connect to the internet was to use a telephone modem, sometimes known as dial-up.

Now we have a number of options. In a non-technical sense, the term "broadband" refers to internet connections that are more than two times faster than the traditional telephone modem.

Examples of broadband service that are available in Eugene/Springfield include:

The University of Oregon does not recommend one service or company over another. Your best choice for broadband service will depend on your needs, your budget and your home network.

The UO does not serve as a broadband ISP. However, we offer free dial-up modem access to current students, faculty and staff.
