Halls residents who want the high-speed, fiber-based internet service can sign up at fiber.aeneas.com. By typing in your address, you’ll find out if the new service is available at your location. If you have questions, you can call Aeneas at 731-554-9200 or the Power and Light Halls Office at 731-836-7595 or drop by the Halls office, 509 S. Church St.

Ripley Power and Light owns the fiber network and leases it to Aeneas, which is initially offering telephone and tiered, internet services with up to speeds of 1 gig.

Ripley Power and Light has explored ways to bring fiber broadband to all customers, said Mike Allmand, President and CEO of Ripley Power and Light. The decision was made to start a pilot project in Halls, Allmand said. The Town of Halls has applied for a grant to pay for a part of the buildout. Customer response in Halls and funding options will help determine if the fiber network will expand beyond Halls to other Power and Light customers, he added.
