About Us
About Merlink Comms
Merlink Communication is an Internet Provider who is currently engaged in the process of establishing a series of towers to serve as access nodes for Ultra High speed internet not currently available in the rural areas of Lambton County.
We differ from other providers because we offer Fiber direct to most towers not backhauled to many towers. This allows us to provide the best possible service to the customer whether residential or businesses.
The process has been an incremental one expanding from the network centre of Sarnia to a network that will include towers established at several locations to service areas underserved by existing providers.
We are also utilizing the latest technology currently available thus improving the current capabilities, increasing available delivered speeds and keeping costs down.

The past year and a half was a complete blur. We started off not even able to complete builds from lack of equipment to lack of workers. The past few monts have been much better as business starts to move forward. Hopefully the upward momentum will continue. Our Project 1 now has 5 Towers and 4 sub towers and our project 2 (Plympton-Wyoming) has 6 main towers and 3 sub towers. If you know anybody with a silo or other high building or structure have them call us and lets see what we can do with their facility.
