Customer Support

MWFN is classified as an Alternative Telecommunications Utility (ATU) under Wisconsin statute 196.01. This provides MWFN authority to act as a service provider with access to public easements, utility poles, and other utility rights-of-way. We have gone through the state of Wisconsin’s extensive licensing process through the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to construct, own, and lease fiber optic networks.

No. MWFN does not provide services to individual households.

As a carrier-neutral provider, MWFN provides our clients with flexibility, since we aren’t tied to any one service provider. When you choose to work with us on a network solution, data colocation or managed IT infrastructure management, you won’t be bound by the limitations (and pricing) of a specific carrier. Because we can provide a connection where others can’t, we offer our clients a critical link between point A and point Z.

We primarily serve Wisconsin and locations in the Midwest. However, our network is constantly growing as demand for service increases. Please view our network map or contact us to learn more about service in your area.

The length of time depends on the complexity of the job. In some cases, such as when a customer is located in a facility that is already “on-net” for us, MWFN could have them up and running in just a couple of weeks. For an accurate estimate, please contact us for a quote.
