AT&T Fiber delivers high-speed internet to thousands of Door County homes
EGG HARBOR, Wis (WFRV) – Fast, reliable internet is finally reaching more rural homes in Door County. Governor Tony Evers joined AT&T executives and local government officials Thursday morning to celebrate the launch of a $24 million public-private fiber broadband project, which will eventually serve more than 5,400 addresses across four Door County communities. New partnership provides young northeastern Wisconsinites with theater training during summer The event took place at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor, where AT&T technicians provided a fiber splicing demonstration and offered tours of the company's service trucks. The first homes in the Town of Egg Harbor are now eligible to order AT&T Fiber, with other areas expected to come online in phases. The expansion includes partnerships with the towns of Egg Harbor, Sevastopol, Sturgeon Bay, and the Village of Egg Harbor. A mix of funding from AT&T, local municipalities, and the Wisconsin Public Service Commission's Capital Projects Fund helped make the project possible. 'There are residents and businesses that didn't have access to high-speed fiber — and now they do,' said Robyn Gruner, AT&T's director of external affairs in Wisconsin. 'It's a critical piece of infrastructure, not just for streaming or working from home, but for healthcare, education, and staying connected.' Gruner said more than 350 homes are now eligible to sign up for service, and more than 50 orders have already come in. Governor Evers used the opportunity to highlight his administration's commitment to broadband access, pointing to $400 million in proposed broadband investments in his latest state budget. 'With uncertainty at the federal level, momentum is more important than ever that we continue to make this a statewide issue,' Evers said. 'We've already helped over 410,000 homes and businesses get access to new or improved broadband.' Wisconsin's budget talks stall, create possible ripple effect on 2026 gubernatorial race Local leaders say the upgrades are long overdue in an area where geography and low population density have long made internet access a challenge. The broader project is expected to roll out over the coming months, connecting thousands more Door County residents to high-speed fiber. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
