Wicked Fiber Announcement Presentation

We are pleased to announce the launch of Wicked Fiber..


A whole new Internet experience

Wicked Fiber brings the Internet to you at speeds of over 100 times faster than a typical connection. With Wicked Fiber it takes just seconds to download music and movies. And since the up speed is the same as the down speed, you can upload videos and photos just as fast.
The secret to bringing these speeds to your neighborhood is the installation of fiber optic cable. Our Active Ethernet technology runs on single mode fiber and brings a stunning 1,000 Mpbs of service to your home or business. Read More......

New - Faster - Bandwidth Management Coming Soon

After several thoughtful e-mail exchanges with one of our customers we have decided to change our bandwidth management rules.

It has been a couple years since we updated our bandwidth management software (how I love you iptables and tc), so after our customer brought the subject up, we examined them and we feel they are too restrictive.

We will be developing a proposed strategy for managing egregious usage (i.e. you can't cap your connection 24x7 for $38.98/Mo, it will trash everyone's Internet), then we'll trot it out to our members and see what you think.

The goal is to make more bandwidth available to everyone.

Implantation is dependent on how much time I have to chase through the changes.  I'm going to aim for July 1, but please don't hold me to it.

Thanks to everyone who helped Kris win her school board race.  I am confident that she will do everyone proud by providing responsible leadership for USD 497.

Thank you for your support.

School Board Candidate

One of Wicked's very own is running for Lawrence School Board. The election is April 2nd so we thought we would share her short bio. Remember, you have three votes for School Board and Kristie is only asking for one:



My name is Kristie Adair and I am a mother to two young girls as well as the wife to a 1st Lt. in the Kansas Air National Guard. My husband and I also own a small business called Wicked Broadband where I manage the company books. I was born and raised in TulsaOklahoma and worked for Tulsa Public Schools teaching English to first graders. We moved to Lawrence in 2005 and I took a position with USD 497 at East Heights in the Pre-K program. Those years in education were rewarding and I only left to finish my education. I have a history degree from Washburn University.  I am interested in serving on the Lawrence School Board because I believe education is the foundation to any good community. John Dewey said, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
