MCSnet ran fiber to the towers serving Grassland in 2022, the same build that reached Boyle and Colinton, and GigAir is live here as a result. From $49.95/month, speeds up to 940 Mbps, right where Highway 63 becomes the road north.

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.
Grassland sits on Highway 63, the main route between Athabasca and the Fort McMurray oil sands, about 151 km northeast of Edmonton. It is a small hamlet, home to around 46 people, but its highway position makes it a familiar name to anyone who has driven that corridor.
Speed does not care how big a place is. When MCSnet built into Grassland, this stretch of Highway 63 got the same speeds as a much bigger town.
The Grassland Community Hall seats 500, with a full commercial kitchen, sound system, and stage, and the Grassland Agricultural Society runs it alongside ball diamonds and camping sites nearby. For a hamlet this size, that hall carries a lot of weight.
MCSnet’s crews know the building well. Fast internet keeps events running, keeps the Ag Society connected, and keeps Grassland families in touch with the rest of the county.
Grassland’s connection was rebuilt alongside Boyle and Colinton in a 90 kilometre, $2.25 million MCSnet expansion completed in 2022, half funded by the federal Universal Broadband Fund.
