Frontier Begins Offering Gigabit Broadband Service in Beaverton, Oregon

Frontier Communications is offering gigabit-speed broadband in several neighborhoods in Beaverton, Oregon, it said Monday. The deployment fulfills CEO Maggie Wilderotter’s promise in July to provide gigabit speeds in the Portland area in the near future, Frontier said. “Frontier has invested more than $128 million in recent years to upgrade and enhance our Oregon network,” Wilderotter said Monday in a news release. Frontier said it will deploy gigabit service in other parts of the state as continued network upgrades occur into 2015. The telco said it offers speeds of up to 100 Mbps in other parts of Beaverton, as well as in Forest Grove, Gresham, Hillsboro, McMinnville, Newberg, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville.
