Wisper Internet Expands High-Speed Connectivity Across Southern Illinois

Delivering Reliable Fixed Wireless Internet to Over 40 Counties in Illinois

What began as a garage-based dream in 2003 is now a transformative force for digital access across the Midwest. Wisper Internet, founded by CEO Nathan Stooke in O’Fallon, Illinois, has grown into one of the region’s most

 trusted internet providers—serving over 40 counties in Southern Illinois with fast, fixed wireless internet.

Locally Grown, Community-Focused

A proud graduate of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Nathan Stooke built Wisper with a mission to bridge the digital divide—starting in his hometown and growing outward. Now headquartered in Mascoutah, IL, Wisper employs over 226 team members, including 86 in Illinois alone (82 full-time and 4 part-time), and provides service to more than 7,400 Illinois subscribers, with 930+ in St. Clair County.

This commitment to local hiring and service sets Wisper apart as a provider that understands and supports the communities it serves.

Backed by Federal Support to Expand Access

In 2018, Wisper was awarded $220.3 million through the FCC’s Connect America Fund Phase II (CAF II)—the second-highest award nationwide. This funding fuels Wisper’s mission to bring high-speed internet to underserved rural areas, helping families, schools, and businesses stay connected in places that have long lacked reliable broadband.

Why Fixed Wireless Internet Works for Southern Illinois

Fixed wireless internet delivers high-speed internet using radio signals—no need for buried cables or phone lines. It’s especially effective in rural and semi-rural regions like Southern Illinois, where fiber installation is costly and time-consuming.

Key Benefits of Wisper Fixed Wireless:

✅ Speeds up to 400 Mbps

✅ Quick, professional installation

✅ Ideal for homes, farms, and small businesses

✅ Low latency for streaming, Zoom, and gaming

✅ No data caps, no contracts

Whether you’re working remotely, attending virtual classes, or streaming your favorite shows, Wisper’s network is built to keep up.

Looking Ahead: Fiber-to-the-Home and Infrastructure Upgrades

Wisper isn’t slowing down. In addition to expanding fixed wireless coverage, Wisper is investing in fiber-to-the-home technology to meet growing demand in Southern Illinois. As infrastructure improves, so does your experience—with faster speeds, greater reliability, and cutting-edge performance.
