Real people. Real towers. Right here.

DerbyNet is a locally owned and family-operated fixed wireless internet provider based in the Quad Cities, serving West Central Illinois for 20+ years. Our customer service and reliability are second to none, and we take great pride in the personal relationships we build with our customers.

When something needs fixing, it’s one of our own techs who climbs the tower — not a contractor from out of state.

How it works
