From farmsteads to small towns, MCSnet ensures that families, businesses, and communities, regardless of their location, have the connectivity they need to live, work, and thrive in a globalized world.
Founded Locally and Providing Global Standard Internet Services
Founded in 1995 in St. Paul, MCSnet was established with the desire to create a bridge for rural communities to access the same high-speed internet that urban centers enjoy. By 1998, MCSnet set its sights higher, introducing a digital subscriber line (DSL) to the community. In 2002, MCSnet launched the region’s first and only high-speed internet, a significant milestone for rural connectivity.
In 2015, the MCSnet family expanded its ownership to include Buried Glass Inc., bringing fiber optic solutions to Alberta and Saskatchewan. As technology and community needs evolved, MCSnet expanded its capabilities, with groundbreaking offerings like GigAir that provide rural areas with internet speeds that rival urban centers.
Today, as a locally owned, family-run business, MCSnet proudly serves over 25,000 Albertans, continuing its growth and expansion to new communities while keeping its community-centered values strong.
