About NWI
From Dial-Up Pioneer to New England IT Partner
We started in the earliest days of the consumer internet as Walk on the Web, a local dial-up provider. Decades later, that same drive to connect people and technology lives on as NWI Networks.
Who we are
It Began with a Dial Tone
Long before the cloud, NWI Networks began life as Walk on the Web — a local internet service provider bringing dial-up access to homes and businesses across the region. We were the company that first got our neighbors online.
As technology evolved, so did we. Dial-up gave way to broadband, servers, and fiber; a scrappy ISP grew into a full-service IT partner and datacenter operator. Today, as NWI Networks, we help businesses across New England turn technology into solutions — backed by the same local, personal service we were founded on.
