A Brief History

Slic Network Solutions began delivering dial-up Internet service in 1995 to businesses and residents throughout St. Lawrence County. During the late 1990's, Slic grew as the Internet did. Ventures at the small company included the creation and expansion of a high-tech call center specializing in technical support services to Internet subscribers located all over the country. In recent years, the area of focus has been constructing a dedicated fiber-optic network in the Canton, Massena and Potsdam business districts and delivering commercial phone and high-speed internet services via a fiber-to-the-premises (fttp) solution.

Slic began to offer fiber-to-the-home solutions for residential high-speed internet and residential phone service in small areas such as Newton Falls and Brasher, NY through projects funded in part from grants and loans from the St. Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the St. Lawrence County IDA. In 2010, Slic was award two separate economic stimulus grants/loans totaling over $33.M for a 3-year endeavor to construct over 800 miles of fiber-optic cable throughout rural parts of St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties. Work began on the project in 2011 and is expected to completed in late 2013.

Slic continues to explore ways to bring high-speed internet and other complimentary services an expanding customer base throughout upstate New York.
