Access to high-speed internet is as much of a necessity as electricity. And the need for fast, reliable internet is only going to increase—especially in our rural areas. That’s why Bloomer Broadband is committed to expanding our fiber-optic network. This summer we are expanding to the areas of Tilden and Eagle Point and finishing up work in the Colfax and Elk Mound areas. We’re looking at additional federal funding for expansions in 2023. We won’t stop until the money runs out! So why is providing reliable, high-speed internet to our communities so important to Bloomer Broadband? Because we know the positive impact it has on our residents, businesses and our communities’ overall economic stability.
