Our Story

The GPNetworks Way

We’re proudly local—founded and operated right here in the County of Grande Prairie. That means we’re genuinely invested in the people, places, and progress of our region. We support local events, partner with local businesses, and understand the unique needs of rural communities—because we’re part of them.

We believe rural communities deserve more than just coverage—they deserve connection that works. At GPNetworks, we deliver fast, unlimited internet—fiber and wireless—backed by local support and real people who understand what life is like outside the city limits. Whether you’re streaming, farming, working from home, or gaming with friends, we’re here to keep you connected, no matter where you are.

Your local, rurul, internet provider.

We Connect Communities.

Our mission goes beyond internet access. We empower families, farms, and businesses with the reliable fiber and wireless technology they need to grow, thrive, and stay connected—whether it’s for remote work, smart ag tools, or keeping the kids entertained.

Ready for Today.
Built for Tomorrow.

From long gravel roads to busy rural hubs, we build with the future in mind. Our network infrastructure is scalable, upgradable, and designed to support the ever-growing demands of modern life—without needing a full overhaul every few years.

Service, Not Just Speeds.

High-speed is just the beginning. We focus on responsive, down-to-earth support—no overseas call centers, no long wait times. Just a team of locals who pick up the phone and get it sorted.

Our Journey

Founded as Whippet in 2005, GPNetworks® initially provided internet services through the Alberta Supernet network. However, as we recognized the potential for substantial impact in networking and service provision, we embarked on a path of infrastructure investment.

We strategically established two fully redundant gateways and made a considerable investment in a Fiber Backbone, stretching from Hythe to Sexsmith via Grande Prairie. This critical step enabled us to connect our major hubs via fiber, significantly enhancing wireless internet performance by eliminating the limitations of wireless interconnectivity.

Fiber Trailblazers

GPNetworks® is proud to lead the way as the first internet provider in the County of Grande Prairie to deliver true fiber-to-the-home connectivity. We’ve rolled out blazing-fast service to several rural subdivisions—turning what was once a dream into everyday reality. And we’re just getting started.

By bringing city-grade speeds to country living, we’re reshaping what’s possible for families, remote workers, and rural entrepreneurs alike. This is more than an upgrade—it’s a game-changer.
