Wisconsin Ethernet Internet

There are many options for internet in Wisconsin.  You are probably already familiar with business dsl, t1, and ds3.  When available, Wisconsin ethernet internet will give some of the best service.  Not only can it be the fastest option, but can also lower costs because it allows for many other technologies to work along with it.  For instance it works well with vpls, which is virtual private lan service, and voip or any kind of hosted telephony or managed service.  Ethernet internet also is very scalable in terms of bandwidth speed.  If you are used to dealing with t1 lines and you need more bandwidth, you have to order another t1 or bonded t1 in prescribed increments.  Metro ethernet is available in increments of 1 mbps, from 10 mbps to 100 mpbs.  You can simply order what you need now, and when your business grows just add more.

Where is metro ethernet available in Wisconsin?  Right now the best chances of metro ethernet over fiber optics being deployed is in the bigger cities.  So Milwaukee,  Madison, Green Bay, and Eau Claire have the best possibilities of having service.  Ethernet is very flexible though, so in these or other locations it may be available as ethernet over copper.

Which vendors have fiber optic availability for this kind of internet at speeds of up to 1 gigabit?  AT&T is the obvious choice since they have excellent coverage throughout Wisconsin.  ACC Business also works very closely with AT&T for solutions for small business.  There may also be some other ISP's that offer service in Wisconsin.  If you would like to check if Wisconsin fiber optic ethernet internet is available in your city, you can use our map tool or ask for a free quote at no obligation.
