The city of Wildwood this week posted news that expanded Internet service is coming to parts of the city that have been underserved to this point. The notice promises those unserved or underserved residents that service is "heading your way" as a result of new Internet service poles being erected.
Here's the text of the Oct. 9 announcement on the city of Wildwood's website:
Are you accessing this webpage from your home via dial-up, satellite, or cell card? Are you unserved or underserved by broadband in your area of Wildwood? Service is heading your way. Six pole locations have been installed to date, spreading wireless broadband signal to these areas, and more pole locations are being rolled out soon.
If you or someone you know are in these areas of Wildwood, please contact the applicable service provider to see if you can be served now, and if not, so you can be notified when service is available to you.
If you are located in the northern portion of Wildwood please contact: WisperISP, 800-765-7772, 3680 Lebanon Avenue, Suite 101, Belleville, IL, 62221.
If you are located in the southern portion of Wildwood please contact: Bays-ET, 636-334-9353, 517 West Osage Street, Pacific, MO, 63069.
If you can't currently be covered please understand that service will continue to expand. Please continue to contact the service providers and spread the word to neighboring home owners around you to do the same. This will help the service providers zero in on major problem areas.
We appreciate your patience and assistance as this exciting project continues.
