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.

Fiber Is Coming to Ardrossan

Strathcona County is a specialized municipality, part urban and part rural, and this page is about the rural side: about 28,000 residents living outside Sherwood Park across hamlets, acreages, and farmland. MCSnet’s federally supported fiber expansion, announced at the Ardrossan Rec Centre, names Ardrossan among more than 30 communities getting fiber to the home, part of a broader grant round covering 3,401 households with construction completing by March 2027. Track the fiber build here.

Ardrossan has also been one of the fastest-growing rural hamlets in the county in recent years, and that growth is exactly why we build ahead of the curve out here instead of waiting for demand to catch up.

Beyond Sherwood Park

Rural Strathcona County is made up of nine hamlets: Josephburg, Ardrossan, South Cooking Lake, Antler Lake, Collingwood Cove, Half Moon Lake, Hastings Lake, and North Cooking Lake, plus the farms and acreages around them. Josephburg sits near Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, while South Cooking Lake and Antler Lake front their namesake lakes with day-use parks and boat launches. MCSnet’s fixed wireless network reaches across this rural service area today, with fiber expanding community by community.
