PEAK Internet Acquires OregonNet.com, LLC, Internet Services
Eugene, OR - December 19, 2005 – Effective December 19, 2005, PEAK Internet, a premier Oregon Internet Services Provider (ISP), is proud to announce the acquisition of OregonNet.com, LLC. PEAK will be assimilating the OregonNet customers in the Eugene/Springfield area including Fern Ridge, Junction City, Halsey, Coburg, Harrisburg, Goshen, and Creswell. The existing OregonNet customers currently subscribe to a variety of services, including dial-up Internet, email, web hosting, colocation services and high speed wireless Internet service.
Rick Petersen, President and CEO of PEAK Internet, said, “We are excited about the opportunity to welcome the great customers of OregonNet to our ISP family. We know we will have to work hard to earn their trust, but we’re confident that all of the OregonNet customers will see only positive changes in their services. For our new customer’s convenience, all service levels and fees will remain unchanged, including email and website domains.” Thaddeus Pritchard, President of OregonNet, added, “With over 10 years of solid experience in running ISPs, I found the best move for OregonNet would be to ‘baton-pass’ it to a stellar company with local roots—allowing it to grow to its potential.”
Thaddeus Pritchard founded OregonNet in 1998 with the express purpose of providing quality Internet services to local customers in the Eugene/Springfield area. In June of 2002, OregonNet assumed the customer base of PremiereLink, a local Internet company, and then expanded the service area in February of 2003 by launching groundbreaking wireless service from Spores Point. OregonNet subsequently began broadcasting from four local “hotspots” to further expand the wireless coverage.
Located in Corvallis, Oregon, PEAK Internet was founded in 1992 and was acquired in 2002 by Casco Communications, an Oregon-based company owned by Pioneer Consolidated and Consumers Power. PEAK is a full service ISP with over 30 employees and a reputation for quality and technological excellence. Their 24 X 7 Network Operations Center maintains a constant vigilance over their state-of-the-art network and their trained, professional service representatives can diagnose and solve nearly any Internet problem or design the perfect solution to residential or business needs.
