How does Hillsboro feel about HiLight internet?
Social media users in Hillsboro have weighed in on Reddit with a clear message: It's awesome.
Reddit user DadNerdAtHome got the conversation started in late March 2026 when they posted, "how is the service. Because it will be cheaper for us for sure."
User TunaBrick was the first to chime in.
"100% recommend it. I've been using HiLight for about 2 years and have had zero issues"
Then, YOURMOM37 asked about the cost, saying their current internet provider had raised prices nearly 90% since the initial price.
"Have they made any price increases since you've started?"
TunaBrick was on it.
"It started at $55 and is still $55. Nothing on their website says they'll ever raise that price. Since it's a municipal service, any profit goes back into expanding their service, not shareholder dividends. They'll only raise the price if it's absolutely necessary."
HiLight subscribers jumped into the conversation.
shimmshaw wrote, "Service has been great, great price, absolutely recommend. Call me a commie cause I love publicly owned utilities"
BearManPig2020 kept it going.
"$55 for 1gig fiber with true unlimited data. I have had this service for almost a year. It has been 100% uptime. There is no data cap whatsoever. You can use as much as you want… I approve. "
Bumrodgers added "I love it. Consistent speed, way more affordable, really really good customer service. And they're over building so as capacity/speed requirements increase they are already capable. Plus no hidden fees and prices should stay consistent for years to come"
The comments kept coming.

keandakin wrote "Best Internet I've ever had. Speed is as advertised and hasn't gone down once in 2 years that I've noticed"
LukeDjarin wrote "Been great for me! The few times we had an issue early on they fixed it super fast!"
Jumping wrote "I've been with them for almost 3 years and I've never had an outage that they didn't plan ahead and warn us about. They have never raised my prices. And if you ever need to call them, you get a live human being in the area who can help you. Speed is just as promised. They are amazing."
