Welcome to the Fiberhood!
If you’re in a community that has Lynxx Networks service, you’ve come to the right place. If you already have a fiber connection to your home, and you'd like to activiate your service, click the button below to apply for service and schedule your installation date. If you don't have a fiber connection yet, and would like one, you can also click the "apply for service" button below to get on our construction list and start the process of getting the area's fastest internet and Wi-Fi at your home.
It's a big job to bring our fiber network to new communities.
Here's an overview of the process:
The locators will come out to mark any underground lines with flags or spray paint. Flags and markings need to remain in place; we will remove them when it is safe to do so. As a utility company, Lynxx Networks can work on public utility easements, including those located in front, side, or back yards.
First, we bury mainline fiber, which is the fiber that runs along the main roads. Mainline is typically placed in the right-of-way. Since fiber cable runs underground, we utilize plowing, trenching, or directional bore techniques to get it there, which involves some big machinery.
The "drop" is what we call the fiber that is spliced from our mainline and buried in a trench to your home. The fiber is then connected to a grey shell that’s attached to the outside of your home and serves as the transition point for the fiber as it goes from outside to inside the house. When it’s time to run the drop to your home, our contractors will get in touch with you to go over where the line will be placed and if there are things in the yard to avoid (i.e. underground dog fence, sprinkler systems, etc.)
After the drops are run in your neighborhood our contractors have work to do before we can connect your home for service. The cabinet (think of it as the brains of the operation in your neighborhood) has to be set, programmed, and fired up. We also have to splice fiber in multiple locations along the path between the cabinet and your home. Once the fiber is spliced, and equipment in place, we have to test everything to make sure there are no weak links in the chain. We run the drops as early as we can so when all the work is done, we can connect you for service as soon as we possibly can.
When you get an e-mail from us saying it's time to order services, you'll go online and choose your internet, tv, and phone, and then schedule your installation date and time. On that day, a technician will come to your home to connect the outside ONT equipment to the router and devices in your home and make sure everything is up and running as it should be.
If I want service, do I have to sign up?
Yes! If you want Lynxx Networks service you need to sign up for a fiber connection. Signing up for service simultaneously gives our company and our contractors permission to go on your property and bury fiber to your home. You can sign up for service by clicking here.
Is there a fiber connection fee?
No; our company doesn't currently charge a connection fee for new customers.
Area Updates
We are excited to announce that Lynxx Networks has been awarded grant funds through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program to expand fiber-optic internet services to 1,102 locations in Juneau and Monroe counties.
This grant funding comes with some extensive requirements that must be met before we can break ground, so much of 2026 is going to be consumed with things like the state and federal permitting and the environmental requirements for this network expansion. Once these requirements are met and we are given the green light to move ahead, we’ll begin to work toward the construction phase of the network expansion. We are also still awaiting the official grant agreement, which must be signed and submitted to the state before work can begin. The state's goal is to have all BEAD projects completed by 2030.
We will do our best to communicate with residents and businesses in our BEAD areas regarding where we are at in the project work. This will include periodically sending out mailers, but we will also keep our website updated with the most recent and available information.
If you'd like to verify if your home or business is in our awarded BEAD project areas, please visit https://maps.psc.wi.gov/portal/apps/experiencebuilder/experience/?id=a09ed2f175184454a3c8785a3490f545&page=home

Our network expansion in the Village of Warrens has begun!
The first phase of construction will involve running the mainline fiber, which is buried underground along the main roads, in the right-of-way. Contractors will be in your area marking the existing underground utilities with flags or spray paint before the project begins.
After mainline is in place we'll be back to run what we call the "drops" - the fiber that connects the mainline to an individual home or business. If you would like a drop so you can get Lynxx internet, phone, and / or TV service, click here to apply for service and schedule your installation date.
We had a gap in our network bewteen our service areas in Mauston and New Lisbon, so we filled it in with fiber network and homes there are now eligible for service. We have already installed the mainline fiber along the main roads, and now that the ground has thawed, we're working to connect the mainline fiber to the homes that request service.
If you're in our Mauston / New Lisbon gap area and would like our internet, phone, and / or TV service, request a drop, as we call it - a fiber line to your home. Click here to request/ apply for service and schedule your installation date.
