About WiscNet WiscNet is a membership organization that provides research and education networking services to public and private higher education, K12 school districts, libraries, municipalities, and hospitals throughout Wisconsin. We connect people and strategies to solve common technology challenges and develop innovative solutions supporting educational, research, and community service missions. WiscNet is governed by its board of directors, elected by the WiscNet Member Representatives of the 500+ member organizations we serve.
Membership Benefits include:
- Eligibility to purchase WiscNet Services.
- WiscNet’s team — exceptional, real, live humans interested in teaching and learning with you to solve anything in your way.
- One complimentary ticket to our annual member meeting, WiscNet Connections.
- Participation in WiscNet's Community Conversation events.
- Free, WiscNet-hosted DNS and Mail Relay services.
- Invitation to regular Teach and Learn remote events with other members for mutual learning and sharing of information.
- WiscNet current annual Membership Fee is $2,000, and the fee is approved and set by the Board of Directors each Fiscal Year.
WiscNet ISP (Internet Service Provider) Fees We want our member organization to use and grow to its total capacity at no additional WiscNet cost; therefore, for an annual fixed fee, WiscNet provides unlimited Internet transit. We do not measure Internet usage nor set limits, throttle, or cap the data our member organizations use. WiscNet maintains an extremely robust high-speed, scalable optical network backbone with redundant core routing, including multiple connections to and from Chicago and Minneapolis, connecting directly with the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Twitch, Akamai, Netflix, and other leaders in the Internet world. As we grow our network and as our member organizations increase their Internet transport capacity (1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 100 Gbps, etc.), the annual WiscNet Network Access fees will not increase. This successful model has served our members well over the past three decades of serving Wisconsin’s public sector.
How WiscNet Sets Fees for Member Organizations WiscNet’s membership comprises six major public service organization types. K12 schools, municipalities, library systems, technical colleges, private colleges, and universities. Within each category, WiscNet sets tiers and fees based on certain factors. For example, K12 school district tiers are based on district enrollment. Higher education tiers are based on IPEDs enrollment data. Libraries are based on the percentage of state aid received. Municipalities are based on population. Tiers and fees are set when an organization becomes a WiscNet member. We do not adjust tiers annually based on factors such as enrollment fluctuation. We may review extenuating circumstances together in rare situations to adjust based on individual circumstances.
Fees for Years 4 and 5 All fees in years 4 and 5 listed below are “not-to-exceed” pricing. Actual fees will be based on fees set and approved by the WiscNet Board of Directors
