Where is my internet?

Reliable high-speed internet opens the door to better healthcare, education, jobs and opportunities. And now, through the BEAD program, Michigan is working to connect unserved and underserved communities across the state. That means nearly every resident will soon have access to reliable and affordable internet.

Why does internet access matter?

Reliable internet isn’t just a convenience. It’s a connection to what matters. It helps you:

  • Chase knowledge instead of Wi-Fi signals.

    Reliable internet expands access to education, healthcare, employment, training and essential services that many Michiganders rely on every day.

  • Connect faster to faraway friends and family.

    Whether you’re calling loved ones across the state or across the world, reliable broadband makes it easier to stay connected through video calls, messaging and more.

  • Get medical care from anywhere.

    Broadband expands access to telehealth, making it easier for Michigan residents to connect with top healthcare providers, attend virtual appointments and access healthcare without having to travel long distances.

  • Grow work and income opportunities.

    High-speed internet helps residents access higher-paying jobs, workforce training, and entrepreneurship opportunities while supporting local businesses, agriculture and rural economies. It delivers an estimated $1,850 economic benefit per household annually.

Why is Michigan investing?

Today, many Michigan residents still lack access to reliable, affordable high-speed internet. This federally funded program is helping bring broadband infrastructure to communities that have historically been left behind.

  • Did you know?

    Nearly 30% of Michigan households face access, affordability or adoption barriers.
