Mapping is an important step in Wisconsin's broadband planning efforts. The Wisconsin Broadband Office (WBO) works with providers, communities, the federal government and additional stakeholders to gather data and develop maps. These maps and data depict the current state of internet coverage and drive future deployment planning. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please email the mapping team at
PSCBroadbandData@wisconsin.gov.
If you want to report on your internet service, complete the
WISER survey and speed test.
Wisconsin Broadband Map
The mapping tool provides an easy interface to help answer the questions: “Do I have broadband service? If not, when will I get it? Who are my providers?" Users can search by address to identify service status at their location, internet service providers, and broadband technology types and advertised speeds. In addition to service availability, the broadband map also shows information about ongoing projects to bring service to unserved areas funded through state or federal programs.
Updated on June 3, 2025 to show data as of December 31, 2024.
