UP Fiber Completes Acquisition of AT&T Wireline Assets in Michigan
Deal includes thousands of miles of copper and fiber infrastructure.
April 6, 2026 — UP Fiber completed its acquisition of AT&T wireline assets in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on Wednesday, gaining control of thousands of miles of network infrastructure as it looks to expand access to fiber broadband in the region.
UP Fiber, a family-run business founded in 1908, has expanded from a small local exchange into a regional provider serving parts of Michigan’s Upper and northern Lower Peninsulas.
The locally owned telecommunications provider said the deal includes about 9,000 miles of copper lines, 1,500 miles of business fiber, and infrastructure from 40 wire centers. The acquisition will serve roughly 9,000 residential and business customers across the Upper Peninsula.
