High-speed, fiber internet available in Halls area
Halls residents are enjoying internet speeds that are often 10 times faster than what they previously had. They’re taking advantage of the new high-speed, fiber internet Ripley Power and Light Company is offering in their community in partnership with Aeneas Internet and Telephone.
“We’ve had excellent feedback from customers who have signed up for the new fiber-based internet,” said Kami Wright, Ripley Power and Light Halls Office Manager. “People are bragging about the reliability and speed they are getting.”
Ripley Power and Light owns the fiber network and leases it to Aeneas, which is initially offering telephone and tiered, internet services with speeds up to 1 gig. The lowest tier offered is 250 Mbps (megabits per second) for $59.95 a month.
Ripley Power and Light has explored ways to bring fiber broadband to all customers, said Mike Allmand, the utility’s President and CEO. “We decided to start with a pilot project in Halls. Customer response in Halls and funding options will help determine if the fiber network will expand beyond Halls to other Power and Light customers.”
If you want high-speed fiber internet, you can sign up at RPL’s Halls office (ask for Wright) or go online at fiber.aeneas.com. At that website, you can type in your address to find out if the new service is available at your location or you can refer to the map, above.
