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.

The Buffalo Capital of Canada

Wainwright earned its “Buffalo Capital of Canada” nickname from Buffalo National Park, established here in 1909 and home to thousands of bison before the park closed in 1940 and the land became CFB Wainwright. A dozen or so bison still live on the base today. In town, the Wainwright Memorial Clock Tower is the only structure left standing after the fire that swept through Main Street in 1929, dedicated in 1925 as a First World War memorial.

MCSnet brought GigAir to Wainwright by mounting wireless radios directly on the town’s electrical and telephone poles, a quick way to get fiber-class speeds to a town of 6,600 without tearing up the streets.

Irma, Edgerton, and Chauvin

MCSnet’s fixed wireless network covers the villages spread across the rest of the MD. In Irma, MCSnet public Wi-Fi hotspots serve the Curling Club, the Horizon Senior Center, and the Arena. In Edgerton, hotspots cover the Agricultural Society and the Arena. And out in Chauvin, near the Saskatchewan border, the village is home to Susie the Softball, the world’s largest softball.

Whether you’re in one of these villages or out on a farm between them, MCSnet’s tower network is built to reach you.
