Our Story

“…To become a company so loved by its employees and customers that it does not matter what the competition does.”

Back in 2003, CEO & Founder Nathan Stooke’s neighbor, just two miles down the road from him, needed internet. In solving this issue, Nathan realized how many others nearby were still without internet. Wisper was born out of a desire to solve this problem for more than just his neighbors. Nathan convinced his wife to max out their credit cards and he started Wisper out of his 1986 Honda Accord with a fold up ladder. 20 years and six states later, Wisper is still connecting those that need reliable, high-speed internet.

Many communities across our coverage area are considered unserved and underserved, lacking speeds of 100Mbps. As part of Wisper’s ongoing commitment to our customers, we understand internet is just as important as any other utility, like water or electricity, and should be reliable and affordable. We serve the communities we are in with customer-focused internet, always; connecting communities to the things they need the most. Wisper is driven to create opportunities that make a difference, allowing people to work and live where they want by bringing high-speed internet to places other providers won’t.

With regional offices across Illinois & Missouri, our local teams are prepared to connect you to the things that matter to you, provide elite customer support, and give you the premium internet you deserve.

Our Values

Focused on Customer Experience

True North is our customer experience. Customers are not a number, they are the reason we are here. Each customer big or small is important and our actions every day help them Love to Wisper even more.

Driven to Solution

Focus on solutions rather than problems. It means having a spirit of perseverance and not giving up easily, not stopping until a problem is solved. Even when the problem seems complex and there are many layers, not letting that stop you.

Serving One Another

What can we do to help? Seeing a need and helping before someone has to ask for it. We are servant leaders that value helping each other even when it is not our job.

Humbly Confident

Humility is freedom from arrogance, not a feeling of insecurity or inadequacy. Confidence is freedom from self-doubt, not pride or self-aggrandizement.

Life-Long Learners

We deliberately focus on the ongoing and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge. As life-long learners, we are not content to stay where we are at, but continually strive to go farther in that endless frontier known as learning.
