Our Company & Network

Since founding in January 1996, MegaNet has grown outward from our Fall River, MA headquarters to include facilities in Boston, MA, Providence, RI and New York City, allowing us to offer Internet access in almost every locale from southern New Hampshire to New York. In addition, some of our access products are available nationally.

Our upstream connections are combination of T3 (45Mbps) and OC3 (115Mbps) connections to various backbone providers, including UUNet, AT&T, Sprint, Cable & Wireless and others. We maintain a cluster of servers from Akamai Technologies, a firm specializing in supercharging access speed to web content and streaming media, allowing ultra-quick access to many of the web's most popular sites.

MegaNet's most recent merger with Cape.com in April 2007 secured it's status as one of the largest privately owned Internet service network in the Northeastern United States.

The current Mega-Network includes four physical locations, connected to each other via a combination of 155Mbps OC-3 and 45Mbps T3, in a semi-meshed fashion to enhance resiliency.
