Wireless Highspeed Internet

MCSNet uses a network of towers to provide wireless high speed Internet service to rural areas. Installation includes a "radio" receiver mounted on your roof and a cable that runs from the radio and into your house or building. There are many advantages to this high speed service in comparison to the Internet service that is predominantly provided to rural areas.

Service availability is limited by the distance and terrain between your location and the tower site. By filling out the sign-up form, our system will provide you with an estimate of the availability of service. If service may be available at your location, you will receive a call back from a sales and scheduling representative to answer any questions you may have, and to arrange an appointment to attempt an installation if you wish. If service is not available at your location, then the demand is tracked and we use this data to decide where we will construct our next tower site when expanding our service area.
