Lakeland Internet has completed its purchase of BaseLine Internet’s Fiber-to-the-Home network and customer base.
This strategic partnership marks a significant step in Lakeland’s ongoing investment in Northeast Indiana and will enhance its ability to deliver exceptional customer service across a larger service area.
General Manager Mark Byler said, “We are planning significant network upgrades to enhance internet service in the neighborhoods BaseLine currently serves. BaseLine customers can expect a seamless transition as Lakeland Internet delivers faster speeds, and in some cases, at lower prices.”
Lakeland will assume primary oversight and complete all necessary network upgrades within sixty days, at which point, customers will officially transfer to Lakeland’s fiber plans. A representative from Lakeland customer service will reach out to customers individually to help them complete the transition to the new billing system. As part of the Surack Enterprises family of businesses, Lakeland is dedicated to modeling founder Chuck Surack’s guiding principle – to always do the right thing.
“Lakeland began with the desire to fill a need,” said Surack. “To bring fast and reliable internet to lake country and surrounding rural areas. With BaseLine’s customer-centric approach to service, it was a natural fit to continue this mission. We aim to leverage BaseLine’s existing network to grow our coverage and better serve BaseLine’s amazing customer base.”
Lakeland previously formed a partnership with ZipSpider, another internet service provider, in 2019. Then in 2023, Lakeland began an ambitious initiative to install cutting-edge fiber optic cable throughout Northeast Indiana. By combining technical expertise with neighborly customer care, Lakeland will continue to innovate and meet the changing needs of its customers.
