There are lots of options depending on the speed, price bundling with other services (e.g. phone and cable) and your location. Make sure the provider will test the speed of your connection or give you an idea of connectivity in your neighborhood. Also, Washington County has limited channel reception without cable service. Don’t expect to hook up your TV and get the major television networks. Check out these websites to help you compare internet and cable providers.
