Mason County PUD #3 is an entity based in Mason County, Washington that offers excellent high-speed internet solutions to its residents. Mason PUD #3 provides fiber optic Internet service to customers that enable them to download at up to 1 Gigabit per second for browsing the internet, watching movies and music, online gaming, and more without having to wait through interruptions caused by buffering. Unlike some large corporate internet providers, Mason County PUD #3 is not a monopoly corporation serving the internet needs of the region but rather is a public utility district serving the residents of the region. Their customer support team is based and operational in Mason County, making it easy for clients to engage them directly for help with the software, inquiries, and to report problems. The installation fees are quite affordable and these providers do not tie their consumers to contracts or limit data usage. Mason PUD #3 offers flexible internet service packages that can easily be customized based on the specific needs of the members ranging from the light users to those who require more bandwidth for large families or businesses. They have kept their Internet prices relatively low and stable over the last ten years and have only raised them slightly to meet operations expenses. The Internet offered by the Mason County PUD #3 is fast, affordable, and local with customer services that are easily accessible – an essential factor in addressing the rural-urban divide. I believe that their fiber optic network is a very valuable asset to keep the people of Mason County connected and active on the digital platform.
