Company Rebrands from Mercury Broadband to Mercury Fiber, Expanding High-Speed Internet Access Across the Midwest
Mission, KS — Mercury Fiber, a leading provider of fiber-optic internet, has launched a major multi-state expansion project, investing more than $85 Million to bring high-speed fiber internet to communities across Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Kansas. The build, now underway, will continue through 2026, delivering next-generation broadband access to thousands of homes and businesses in underserved areas.
As part of this initiative, the company has rebranded from Mercury Broadband to Mercury Fiber—a name that reflects its commitment to delivering fiber connectivity wherever possible, while continuing to support communities with its dependable, high-speed fixed wireless network where fiber is not yet available.
Multi-Million Dollar Investments in Digital Infrastructure
This latest expansion builds on Mercury Fiber’s previous multi-million dollar investments in these states, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to expanding fiber access and closing the digital divide. By deploying next-generation fiber-optic technology, Mercury Fiber aims to support economic growth, enhance digital inclusion, and improve quality of life for thousands of residents and businesses.
“Reliable broadband access is essential for modern life, and Mercury Fiber is dedicated to bringing cutting-edge fiber technology to communities that need it most,” said J Findley, CEO of Mercury Fiber. “This investment is about more than just faster speeds—it’s about ensuring that families, students, healthcare providers, and businesses have the connectivity they need to thrive in today’s digital world.”
Expanding Fiber Connectivity Across the Midwest
With a significant portion of rural and underserved communities still lacking fiber broadband access, Mercury Fiber’s investment will help bridge the gap by delivering high-speed, fiber-optic internet across Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Kansas. This expansion ensures that residents and businesses in these states can connect, work, learn, and compete in an increasingly digital economy.
Advancing Next-Generation Technology
As part of its fiber expansion, Mercury Fiber is deploying advanced broadband infrastructure capable of delivering multi-gig speeds in the near future. The network will provide:
- Blazing-fast fiber internet for seamless streaming, gaming, and telehealth services
- Future-ready connectivity designed to support growing bandwidth needs
- Unmatched reliability with high-performance fiber technology
Driving Economic Growth & Digital Equity
For many of the communities included in this expansion, Mercury Fiber’s investment represents the first time high-speed fiber broadband will be available, enabling new opportunities for economic development, education, and small business growth.
Adam Conrow, Regional General Manager for Indiana, emphasized the transformative impact of this expansion.
“High-speed fiber internet is no longer optional—it’s essential for thriving communities. This initiative will provide the connectivity necessary for businesses to grow, students to succeed, and residents to stay connected like never before.”
Local leaders are also recognizing the importance of this project.
“Expanding high-speed internet access is critical for the growth and prosperity of rural communities in Michigan. Reliable broadband is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity for businesses, schools, and families,” said Michigan Senator Kevin Daley. “Mercury Fiber’s investment in St. Clair and Lapeer Counties will provide residents with the connectivity they need to compete in today’s digital world. I applaud their efforts to bring cutting-edge technology to our communities and help bridge the digital divide.”

As the demand for fiber-optic connectivity continues to grow, Mercury Fiber is positioning itself as a leader in broadband expansion and digital innovation. This investment is part of the company’s long-term strategy to build a future-ready network across the Midwest, ensuring that more communities have access to the high-speed internet they deserve.
