I used to live in Bend, and had Internet through Bend Broadband for years. In fact, my first email address was @bendbroadband.com. I'm pretty sure it's still listed as my backup email on a few websites.
Anyway, they like to advertise themselves as the smalltown hero. For a while (maybe it still is), their slogan was "We're the local dog, we better be good!" They even had a black lab as a mascot. Eventually I moved to a new area, where the only ISP in town is Comcast. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Comcast is better in pretty much every way, which is a pretty serious indictment of the quality of service offered by bendbroadband.
