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.

Building Broadband Into Minburn County

Minburn County is home to about 3,000 people across 2,850 square kilometres, wrapped around the Town of Vegreville without including it. The county itself contains two villages, Innisfree and Mannville, and three hamlets: Lavoy, Minburn, and Ranfurly.

MCSnet has been steadily building into the county for years: buried fiber connecting Mundare to the county in 2022, provincial funding in 2024 to reach roughly 20,000 homes and businesses across northeastern Alberta, and further federal funding in early 2026 to expand fiber to more than 30 rural communities, several of them right here.

MCSnet also keeps free public wifi running at five venues in the village: the Seniors Drop-In Centre, the Recreation Centre, the Crossroads Museum, Jesus Rock of Ages Global Ministries, and the Elks Hall.

Innisfree, next to Birch Lake, is one of the first two communities in the county to get MCSnet GigAir, alongside Lavoy, and hosts a free wifi hotspot at the Innisfree Historical Society.
