Testimonials
I've been connected to AFN Internet for over a decade, enjoying super-fast speeds, a reliable connection, friendly local customer service, and super-affordable rates. Ironically, I live in Ashland, one of the more affluent cities in Oregon. Yet my monthly Internet bill through AFN is $15 less than my friend's, who lives in Portland. I'm saving $180 a year just by the fact that I have AFN. Furthermore, I like that the money I spend with AFN stays in my community.

Thank you so much for helping us sort through our frustrating problems with the Internet connection. We so appreciate Dena's perseverance in sticking with it, and her follow-through has been amazing!! She's a true gem! She's been a delight to work with, and when she needed guidance or support, Chad was there for her. Thanks again; we're quite happy to be up and running smoothly.

I just wanted to say thank you for the new upgraded service. It is much faster, and if it is as reliable as it is fast, everyone will be happy. Thanks for the prompt service, and your installer, Andy was great!

Thank you and your colleagues... I rate you 5 out of 5 for customer satisfaction. I really hope you all get overtime for that. Thank you again.

I called AFN on Feb 3rd because I unexpectedly lost my Internet service. A technician named Dena came out and solved the problem within half an hour. (Turns out Charter had installed a filter that hampered data transmission). I was very impressed by how quickly she assessed, diagnosed, and corrected the issue, while maintaining a high level of professionalism and friendliness.
