Highline Celebrates 10,000th Customer Milestone — Connecting More Communities to Reliable Fiber Internet

[Escanba, MI] – November 6th, 2025 – Highline today proudly announced that it has connected its 10,000^th Michigan customer to its state-of-the-art fiber internet network — a major milestone in the company’s mission to bring fast, reliable, and future-proof broadband to unserved and underserved communities across the Upper Peninsula and Thumb.

Beginning in July of 2021, Highline has been dedicated to closing the digital divide by delivering world-class fiber-to-the-home service to homes and businesses that have long lacked dependable internet access. This customer milestone reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to transform broadband connectivity in rural Michigan. 

“Everything was done on time as promised, and the system works, said 10,000th Upper Peninsula customer Jay Erickson of Rudyard. “The other competitors are unreliable or unavailable most of the time. This is a new level of professionalism and support in the area.”

“This milestone isn’t just a number — it represents meeting a fundamental need for connectivity. With 10,000 Highline customers now online, an estimated 30,000 Michigan residents are benefiting from reliable internet service for work, education, healthcare, and entertainment,” said Bruce Moore, President and General Manager – Midwest.

Highline’s network expansion has accelerated through collaboration with local governments, utilities, and community organizations. The company continues to invest in building a future-ready network that provides symmetrical gigabit speeds, no data caps, and exceptional reliability along with local customer support.

“Our 10,000th customer is a celebration of progress,” added CEO Rob Mills. “Every new connection helps strengthen our communities and gives our customers the power to thrive in a digital world. We’re grateful to them for trusting Highline to deliver the internet experience they deserve.”

Highline continues to expand across the Upper Peninsula and Thumb markets, with additional construction and activation phases planned for the coming years. The company encourages residents to visit www.highlinefast.com to check availability and sign up for service.
