Mosaic continues to bring fiber optic internet to Turtle Lake!

On August 13, 2020, Mosaic fired up another business on fiber in Turtle Lake! Hotel Bar and Grill is now taking full advantage of the unparalleled speeds now offered in the village. Here is what they had to say about this partnership.

“We are so excited to have Mosaic fiber in Turtle Lake’s Downtown Business District! The speed and ease with which Mosaic completed our connection can only be rivaled by the speed and ease of use of the services they provide,” said owner Jennifer Swenson.  “In a time when our business needs to be innovative and creative to safely meet the needs of our guests, Mosaic’s fast, reliable fiber technology has been a game changer. Thank you, Mosaic, for understanding and exceeding our business needs! Your services have been the best 100th Birthday Gift the Hotel Bar and Grill has received!”

Mosaic is pleased to work with Hotel Bar and Grill and looks forward to providing years of reliable and fast service to them and the rest of Turtle Lake.

Hotel Bar and Grill is not the only one joining the Mosaic community, nearly 200 Turtle Lake homes and businesses have also signed up for residential services! Fiber internet services range from 250 Mbps up to 1000 Mbps, making this the fastest symmetrical connection available to the public by far. Customers can now stream from multiple services like Netflix™, HBO Go®, Hulu, YouTube, and many other platforms, even if others in your household are also consuming large amounts of bandwidth! Mosaic is eager to connect even more residents and businesses in the Turtle Lake area to its state-of-the-art technology.

The Mosaic team is replacing old copper cables for a more reliable and faster connection provided by fiber. Fiber optic cable uses light instead of electrical currents, meaning not only will your internet be up to 10 times faster, it will also be less susceptible to lightning strikes or storms that roll through.

As Mosaic continues to lay main fiber optic lines in the outer reaches of Turtle Lake, residents are encouraged to take advantage of this build out as we move into the fall season.

Mosaic continues fiber deployment for gigabit internet services in Turtle Lake this week as part of a multi-year initiative to expand fiber optic infrastructure throughout the area. This milestone initiative will allow all of Mosaic’s customers in the Turtle Lake area to access existing internet services up to 1 Gig or 1,000 Mbps.

Mosaic began its fiber expansion construction in Turtle Lake on April 1 and will be in the area until later this summer. During this fiber installation process, Mosaic will replace its current network of copper cables with a network of fiber optic cables which use light instead of electricity to carry a digital data signal.
To help fund the project, Mosaic applied for the first round of broadband grants appropriated by Gov. Evers in the 2019 – 2021 Wisconsin biennial budget totaling $24 million — the largest in state history.

“Mosaic appreciates all the hard work and dedication from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin and the Village,” said Mosaic’s CEO Domenico Fornaro. “Unfortunately, there was not enough money in round one to support the Turtle Lake grant request. However, Mosaic committed to the Village of Turtle Lake leadership, businesses, and residents that we would provide a robust fiber network with up to 1 gig-capable speeds and we plan to keep that promise.”

Mosaic has also expanded into other underserved areas, including neighborhoods in Barron, Dallas, Ridgeland and rural Rice Lake. These combined projects represent a significant capital investment by Mosaic in the much-needed rural broadband expansion effort. Once completed, residents will enjoy:

Fiber broadband speeds up to 1 Gig, providing for better video streaming television for Netflix™, HBO Go®, Hulu, and other services.
Best in classupload and download speeds, providing a seamless internet connection experience, especially for all newly connected devices in homes today.

Citizens of Turtle Lake will see Mosaic’s construction team and equipment in the area. Mosaic asks for Turtle Lake residents’ cooperation and patience as construction continues through the summer months. Anyone with questions or requests for service is encouraged to call 715-458-5400 or visit ExperienceMosaic.com for more information.

Cameron, WI – Mosaic was recently awarded two grants by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission to expand fiber broadband infrastructure along Barron County Highway SS north of Rice Lake to Tuscobia and along Barron County Highway T west of Barron. The grants are part of the first round of broadband grants appropriated in the 2019–2021 state biennial budget. The fiber deployment for gigabit internet services is part of a multi-year initiative by Mosaic to expand fiber optic infrastructure throughout Barron County.

Mosaic CEO Domenico Fornaro thanked the PSC and local municipalities for their cooperation in securing the grants.

“I would like to thank the Wisconsin Public Service Commission for the continued partnership with Mosaic to bring the fastest, most reliable internet to people when they need it the most.”

The fiber optic deployment set to begin later this spring will allow new customers in these areas to access the fastest internet services available at 1 gig per second. The mainline fiber construction will run in the two specified areas and have drops to each home that signs up for service. Any residential household or organization on the route to the network will have access to various service options, speeds and plans.

The company will provide periodic updates on progress, so residents will know when they can take advantage of the new, faster internet. For more information about all of Mosaic’s Fiber to Home initiatives, visit www.experiencemosaic.com or call Mosaic at 715-458-5400 to request service.
