These days, your ISP options are limited. Your choices are basically whoever actually has connections to your residence, wireless providers in your area, or satellite. There may be some great providers out there, but, unless they have media connected to your house, there is no point in asking about them. You indicated you are in 97230, which is Parkrose. Makes no difference what ISPs are in Gresham. It looks like your choices are CenturyLink DSL, XFinity cable, and possibly Frontier fiber (if they have it to your house).
