Summary
Rural De Pere residents can now access Bug Tussel’s new high-speed fiber broadband, marked by a fiber-lighting ceremony at Glenmore Community Center.
COVID-19 school shutdowns drove the project after some students without adequate home internet had to rely on public Wi-Fi to attend online classes.
Brown County leaders and Bug Tussel said the expansion targets rural households that have lagged in reliable service, with the company framing connectivity—not profitability—as the priority.
The broader aim is to narrow the digital divide by giving rural families, students and businesses more dependable internet access as the network buildout continues.
