Rainier Connect Acquires HarborNet (21. August 2008, 12:59 by Derek Young) ~ ISP HQ
Rainier Connect, our neighbors on the north side of downtown Tacoma, announced today that they have acquired local Internet Service Provider HarborNet.
Rainier Connect will transition HarborNet customer accounts and services to Rainier Connect’s system and customers won’t see a change to their current services or email addresses. Walk-in customers will be helped at 805 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma until Rainier Connect’s permanent headquarters are renovated at 2516 South Holgate in Tacoma’s Brewery District.
So lets see…. they are getting a new HQ, they are going to be partnering with Click! to expand service, and are now absorbing local competitors? It would seem that this local, family-owned company is successfully taking over the Tacoma ISP territory.

It looks like Rainier Connect is a couple bucks more a month for service. Hopefully their service is as good or better than Harbornet. I’ve been with Harbornet for several years and have rarely had any issues.

Harbornet’s been great for me. I work on Pacific close to Rainier Connect. Small office. They must really be expanding if they’re buying up other local ISPs.
Kind of like Dracula buying up property around London. LOL

I hope they don’t force all the newly acquired Harbornet employees to earn to break-dance like the rest of their employees had to when they upgraded to “break-neck speed.”

I never really had a problem with the billing system. What kind of problems did you have?

you know how they’d email you a pdf… you’d have to copy/paste your account number, invoice number… blood type… astrological sign.. to submit a payment. complicating things further they’d label things differently in the PDF than in the html payment form! Is my User ID the same as Account Number? Usability Issue!
why can you just log in and enter a CC number? Am I living in 1997 ?
