ABOUT
North Coast Wireless Communications
North Coast Wireless Communications was founded in 2004. However, our operations actually started in 2000 as two separate companies before we merged to become NCWCOM. We initially provided wireless broadband internet exclusively to our surrounding local areas but have consistently grown, and now we provide wireless broadband internet to over six counties with fifty-six different towers.
As a company that prides itself on continuously adapting and advancing our technical capabilities, NCWCOM decided to future-proof our services by moving into the fiber optics space. We started offering fiber broadband internet in 2018 and are growing our fiber optics coverage exponentially every day.
With all this growth and advancement NCWCOM's number one concern is still our CUSTOMERS. We started locally and will always maintain our local roots. Fulfilling our customer's internet and service needs at an affordable price is not only what motivates us as a company, but is also what influences us on all of our business making decisions.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Provide local, affordable & reliable Broadband services with exceptional technical customer service to meet the unique needs of our customers.
OUR VALUES
Dedication to customers
Commitment to integrity and high ethical standards
Constantly strive to be an Employer of Choice
