Internet Services

Broadband over power lines (BPL) technology allows users to plug their computer into any electrical outlet in their home and instantly have access to high-speed Internet. By combining the technological principles of radio, wireless networking and modems, developers have created a way to send data over power lines and into homes at speeds equivalent to DSL and cable.

International Broadband Electric Communications, Inc., (IBEC) is installing BPL equipment across all of Cullman EC's service territory. When BPL service becomes available to a new substation, members living in those designated areas will receive a letter or postcard in the mail with more details on how to sign-up and receive BPL service. Also, be sure to check your copy of Alabama Living magazine for additional information. Click here to learn more about IBEC and BPL services.

In 2003 Powernet merged with International Broadband Electric Communications, (IBEC), a leading provider of broadband Internet services. Since then, IBEC has continued to offer the same outstanding products and services that you previously enjoyed from Powernet. As a Powernet customer, nothing has changed but the name. IBEC is still offering you Internet service in cooperation with your electric cooperative and has the same outstanding customer service representatives to assist you.
