The Upper Sioux has had ubiquitous broadband at speeds of 25 Mbps down and 3 up; they now have ubiquitous coverage to faster speeds of 100/20.

In October 2024, the Institute for Local Self Reliance featured Fond du Lac and other MN tribals communities building broadband, reporting that the Upper Sioux Community finished building a fiber-to-the-home network to bring the Internet to the community in 2007. The project was completed in stages beginning in 2005 after the Tribe recognized the severe lack of reliable, high-speed Internet under an incumbent provider. The network is operated as USC Communications, which continues to offer Internet and other services to residents of the community.
