Welcome to WiscNet!
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

WiscNet Service Spotlight
WiscNet member bandwidth increases are moving along at a rapid pace. There have been 59 bandwidth upgrades since May 2008, and there are a number more scheduled throughout August. This represents a 50% increase above the number of bandwidth increases over the same time period in 2007. A number of folks waited to increase their bandwidth until after July 1st so that they could take advantage of Grow Smart. We’ll likely see many more folks jump on the Grow Smart bandwagon once school starts. More members have joined the list of those who have increased their bandwidth at least twice since the onset of the BCN including Beloit School District, Waterford Graded School District, Waterford Union High School and Tomahawk School District.
Grow Smart
Unlimited access to the Internet? With the same fixed costs three years in a row? No more anxious bandwidth meter-watching? Almost every product or service your organization buys increases annually in cost, especially when you use it more. WiscNet’s cost for network access is the one that won’t. Regardless of how much Internet bandwidth you use this year, next year, and the next (yes, through 2010), your WiscNet network costs will stay fixed at this year’s cost. And the Board intends to continue providing a similar fixed-cost service model well past 2010. We hope that this predictability will free you to focus on how to use our network to better enable your students, faculty, patrons, and all those who share our community to “grow smart.”
