The expansion project, which commenced its 5-step construction process in November, promises to revolutionize internet access in the area. Technicians will gradually install the fiber network neighborhood-by-neighborhood over the coming months, with completion expected by early summer of 2024.
Founded in 1934 to serve Alcorn County, ACE Power has a rich history of community-driven service, initially focusing on providing electricity to local farmers.

Since its inception, ACE Fiber has garnered acclaim for its competitive offerings, including high-speed internet up to 10 Gbps, no contracts, free equipment, and responsive local service.
“We’re thrilled to extend our services to New Albany, partnering with New Albany Light Gas and Water to ensure residents receive the same level of quality, reliability, and service that our subscribers in Alcorn County have enjoyed,” remarked Sean McGrath, CEO of ACE Power.
