ISPs in Colfax, WA?

Submitted by penguin_616 t3_11nyhyi in Washington

I am moving to eastern WA to be in or near Pullman.

Is anyone here on r/Washington from Colfax, WA?

I need to know what most people use as an Internet Service Provider there. Thanks!

The FCC broadband map is a decent starting place, followed by the websites of the ISP's indicated:

https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov

They did a major overhaul a few months ago that should significantly reduce the inaccuracies, but at a minimum, knowing what ISP's report to the FCC that they offer service in your area gives you a hint who to contact and confirm.

It looks like Lumen (formerly Centurylink) and St. John's Telephone

That is an incredible tool! Looks like I need to make sure "St. John Telephone, Inc." which I believe is AKA "Colfax Cable" does have a fiber optic line to the building. It's at least within their coverage.

Thanks a lot!

Just kidding around, I love the Pullman area, but I'm not sure what ISP's they have in Colfax.

This sub doesn't get a lot of traffic, I would try asking the question on r/Pullman.

Thanks, I'll post this over there. But uh oh, is Colfax considered pretty rural? There's practically no cat friendly houses for rent in Pullman right now.

That part of the state is pretty sparsely populated in general, and the town has less than 3,000 people. Maybe not technically rural, but you're pretty far from any major cities.

It's only 20 minutes from Pullman, though, which is a nice college town, and the area is beautiful.
