A hamlet of 210 people with fiber to the home since 2019. MCSnet built it ourselves, no grants, because Mallaig is 30 minutes from our head office and rural should never mean slow. From $49.95/month.
CHECK AVAILABILITYWhich service reaches you depends on exactly where you are, and you do not have to guess: put your address into the availability checker and it will show you the service and speeds available at that spot, along with current pricing.
Fiber has been live here since 2019, self-funded, which means speeds up to 1.5 Gbps on a dedicated line into the building. See the fiber projects.
Our tower network is built for the farms, acreages, and lake lots past where wired providers stop, with speeds up to 940 Mbps, enough for a busy household, and installation by our own crews.
MCSnet builds fiber, GigAir, and fixed wireless across rural Alberta, and the network keeps growing. See where fiber is headed next.

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.
When people say hamlets get left behind on internet, Mallaig is our counterexample. In 2019 MCSnet trenched fiber to the home here, in Fort Kent, and in Cherry Grove, self-funded, years before government broadband programs caught up. If you live in Mallaig, fiber with speeds up to 1.5 Gbps where available is not a promise on a map. It has been in the ground for years.
A railway community founded in 1928 and named by a homesick Scot after Mallaig, Scotland, the hamlet now has one of the most modern connections in rural Alberta. The old rail line itself became the Iron Horse Trail, which runs right through town.
Mallaig runs deeper than its population suggests: École Mallaig Community School teaches about 246 students from kindergarten to grade 12, and the Mallaig & District Ag & Recreational Association keeps the arena, curling rink, community hall, ball diamonds, and campground humming. In summer, the Mallaig Provincial Recreation Area puts a sandy beach, playground, and volleyball court on the shore of Vincent Lake, where the perch, pike, and walleye live.
Fiber makes the whole calendar easier: game film for the rink, streaming for the classroom, and a connection at home that does not blink when everyone is on it.
“Great internet service provided for rural users. We have been with MCSnet for over a decade and have absolutely no reason to change. From getting an actual live local person on the phone when you call for support, to friendly and professional technicians, MCSnet is a great value for the service received.”
Jennifer Waddington“Easy to reach customer service, dependable wifi in the country, upgraded equipment.”
