Among the gigabit towns in Wisconsin are Siren, Madeline Island, Bloomer, Wisconsin Rapids and Reedsburg, where the service is available to homes as well as businesses. Middleton, Waunakee, Verona, Black Earth and Cross Plains are scheduled to become gigabit towns this fall from service provider TDS Telecom.

Home Internet users in Milwaukee and Madison aren't yet offered gigabit speed, which is delivered over fiber-optic cable and can be scaled to different levels such as 100 or 200 megabits per second, depending on the user's needs. AT&T has what it calls a GigaPower Network that offers the service in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, but not in many other places.
