- Is the City of Hillsboro the new Comcast? Max Egener details our neighboring city's plans to build out its HiLight program, which brings 1 gigabyte, high-speed internet for as little as $10 a month to low-income residents. The community near the Shute Park Library was the first area HiLight began serving around a year ago; the entire city is scheduled to have access in about ten years.
