BendBroadband, part of TDS Broadband Service LLC which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Telephone and Data Systems, operates in Central Oregon. The company is nationally recognized as a leader in the cable industry due to our progressiveness with technology. In fact, we were the first company to provide high-speed Internet service in Oregon, back in 1997—providing a draw to Central Oregon for telecommuters seeking work-life balance. We have a long list of firsts for the introduction of new technology in Oregon cities, small or large.
