What a Good Connection Actually Gets You

Dependable internet is not a luxury anymore. It is family movie night streaming without the spinning wheel, the kids gaming with friends two provinces over, a video call to a child working away, and a rural business reaching customers anywhere. It is a full house of phones, TVs, laptops, and cameras all running at once without anyone shouting to get off the internet.

MCSnet is built to carry all of it. Check what reaches your address and we will show you the speeds available where you live, then help you match them to how your household actually uses the internet.

CHECK YOUR ADDRESS

A Small Hamlet on Highway 45

Derwent is a hamlet of about 96 people, sitting along Highway 45 roughly midway between Vermilion and Elk Point, and about 20 kilometres east of Myrnam. Founded in 1928 with the Canadian Pacific Railway’s expansion, it lost its village status in 2010 and, with no school of its own, sends its kids to New Myrnam School down the road. What Derwent does have is a hotel with a lot of history and a community that still shows up for each other.

MCSnet’s fixed wireless network covers Derwent and the farms around it, and the Derwent Arena hosts one of our free community wifi hotspots.

Free Internet for the Golf Course

MCSnet provides complimentary internet to the Myrnam Derwent Golf Course through our Community Connections program. The nine-hole course sits between the two communities and serves both, hosting Women’s Night, Glo Golf, and a Memorial Tournament each year. Membership has grown from around 40 to 120 members in three years, and free wifi at the clubhouse has helped the club build that following online.
