A new high-speed internet is now available in some parts of Veneta. Douglas Fast Net, located in Roseburg, was begun in 2001 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Douglas Electric Cooperative. Recently, Douglas Fast Net was awarded funding to build out of a lot of surrounding areas around Veneta and is now extending services to those places in Veneta with overhead utilities as they construct new cable. Because the cost is higher with underground utilities, Douglas Fast Net will attend to those residences as they are able.
There will be both residential and business fiber internet packages available through Douglas that will include upload and download speeds that will be synchronous, as well as phone service. For standalone residential internet service 250 megabytes a second, a promotional price of $50 a month plus fees for the first year is being offered with the price being then raised to $65 dollars a month.
