LANDER, Wyo. (May 7, 2026) — A total of 3,267 homes and businesses in Lander will gain access to 5-gigabit fiber internet by November through Visionary Broadband. In late April, the internet provider began work on a new fiber network to expand digital access across the city.
Visionary is funding a majority of the expansion out of pocket, with partial support from Connect Wyoming, a Capital Projects Fund (CPF) administered by the Wyoming Business Council. The Connect Wyoming program is funding 535 of the connections in Lander.
Once the five-phase project is complete, locations with access will have the option to choose a faster, more reliable 5-gigabit internet network through Visionary.
“Reliable fiber internet is our focus,” said Brian Worthen, CEO of Visionary Broadband. “Whether streaming entertainment, remote work, education or virtual healthcare, everyday tasks depend on online access. This is the also the case for those in Lander to appreciate nature and adventure.”
The investment also supports economic and business growth, ensuring Lander can grow with the connectivity it needs to attract new industry and employees.
The expansion in Lander is part of Visionary’s commitment to increasing fiber internet access across the American West, especially in rural communities where challenging terrain may have hindered prior access. The company’s future-proof fiber approach creates a network that will serve the community for decades to come.
