What you get in Jemison.

Jemison runs on Alabama Lightwave. Ten gigs of Montgomery fiber, broad coverage from the Church Street water tank reaching every address in city limits and out past Highway 191, and a wireless backup through Bibb when the line gets cut. Built for here.

Internet that actually works. Stream movies without the wheel of doom. Video-call the grandkids and see them clearly. Pay bills, work from the kitchen table, watch the game in 4K on Saturday. Residential plans start at $55 a month, all in, no contract, no add-on fees. Business plans start at $100.

If we cover your address, a local tech mounts a small antenna outside and sets up your WiFi inside a week. Standard install is free. If we don't reach you yet, we'll add you to the list and call when a new tower goes up nearby.

How Jemison gets blazing internet.

Some providers run a single fiber path into town and hope nobody digs through it. We did not build that way. Jemison sits on a redundant network. Fiber comes in from Montgomery on two physical paths. Wireless redundancy backs it up from Bibb. Broad coverage rolls off the Church Street water tank to every address in town. The town does not blink when somebody else's line gets cut.

Layered redundancy. All the way home.

Jemison runs on a 10G fiber ring that goes north and south along Highway 31 back to our Montgomery network core. Two separate physical paths home: if a backhoe or a copper thief takes one side out, the other side keeps the town online.

Behind the fiber, we put a wireless link from the Church Street water tank straight to our Six Mile tower in Bibb County. If both sides of the fiber ring ever went down at the same time, the wireless failsafe carries Jemison’s traffic out through the broader Lightwave network from there.

Once your traffic reaches Montgomery, it has two separate ways out to the broader internet from there too. Suspenders and a belt, all the way down. The simple version: the other guys drag your connection through Atlanta first. We keep it in Alabama first, then send it out from Montgomery. Shorter trip. Fewer dumb detours.

Broad coverage from the Church Street water tank.

Our LTE coverage layer rides on the Church Street water tank and blankets the city. Every single house inside Jemison city limits is in active service, and coverage pushes well outside the limits, out toward Highway 191 and the Center Hill area.

Microcells where top speeds matter most.

Microcells complement the water tank by delivering symmetrical, top-tier wireless at street level: two in the Jemison Drive subdivision, one at Pine Hill Cemetery, one feeding Guy Street and Main Street, and one feeding Cassie Circle in the South Ridge subdivision. More microcells are planned for the area to bring symmetrical speeds to more addresses. Same network. Faster radios. More capacity per address.

Live weather camera

Eyes on the storm, live from a Jemison tower.

Alabama Lightwave partnered with WBRC and Chief Meteorologist Wes Wyatt to mount a tornado-watch camera on the Church Street water tank in downtown Jemison. WBRC uses the live feed during long-form severe weather coverage on-air. Alabama Lightwave customers and verified first responders can watch the same feed any time inside the Lightwave LINK app. The full roster of partners behind the camera network and our wireless build sits on the partners page.

One of our own is a Jemison Panther.

Patrick Turner, Alabama Lightwave’s construction lead and the company’s first full-time hire, graduated from Jemison High School. The same crew that climbs your roof to mount the radio grew up on these roads. Patrick is also the elected Bibb County Coroner. Go Panthers.

Read the fine print

No fine print games. Neighbors don't do neighbors like that.

Before you compare us to one of the co-op or Wall Street fiber providers in the area, read the fine print on their offer. Their teaser price almost never matches their final bill. That’s horse crap, and we don’t play it.

  • Wi-Fi router is in your price.

    Some of the fiber competitors in this area charge you an extra $5 a month for a router that actually has Wi-Fi on it. That is nonsense. Your Wi-Fi router is included in the price you sign up at. No add-on, no surprise line item, no upgrade tier. And if a power surge from a storm or our flakey local power grid kills your router, we replace it for free.

  • The number we quote is the number on the bill.

    Before you trust a fiber provider’s lower-looking sticker price, look hard at the fine print. The co-ops and the Wall Street fiber companies in this area bury ‘recovery fees,’ ‘regulatory pass-throughs,’ ’equipment rentals,’ and ‘introductory’ rates that double in month thirteen. Our price is all in, taxes included, forever. Same number every month for as long as you keep the plan.

Built by Alabamians

Built without your tax dollars.

Unlike some of our larger and much better-funded competitors, Alabama Lightwave did not need a single dime of your tax dollars to deliver Jemison residents a top-class internet experience. That is consistent with Alabama values. Your tax dollars belong on nice roads and well-paid school teachers, not on internet grants.

What runs through Jemison.

Same network engineering everywhere we serve. Built for Alabama, not for Boston.

  • Alabama-first routing

    Your connection stays close to home first. We hand traffic off in Montgomery, at Alabama's own internet hub, instead of dragging every click through Atlanta before it comes back. Shorter trip. Less nonsense. Better internet.

  • Fiber and wireless, mixed.

    Fiber breaks easily out here. So we mix fiber and wireless backhaul across the network. Bandwidth from one, low latency from the other, and no Cletus with a shovel can take it all down at once.

  • Up when the grid's not

    Battery backup on every site. Generators on the critical ones, with more going in as we upgrade. We're continuously hardening the network against Alabama's flakey power grid. The severe-weather feeds in Lightwave LINK stay live.

  • Smooth Zoom. Smooth gaming.

    LibreQOS runs on every Lightwave tower. It shapes traffic in real time and kills bufferbloat, so your call stays smooth even when somebody's pulling down a huge game in the next room.

Jemison questions, answered.

  • Is every address in Jemison really on Alabama Lightwave's network?
    Yes. Every single house inside Jemison city limits is in active coverage. Our LTE coverage layer on the Church Street water tank reaches the whole city, with microcells stacked on top in specific subdivisions for symmetrical top-tier capacity.
  • What about addresses outside city limits, out toward Highway 191 or Center Hill?
    Many of them too. Our Church Street water tank pushes coverage well outside the city limits, including toward Highway 191 and into the Center Hill area. The fastest way to confirm is to plug your address into the availability check.
  • I am a Jemison High teacher. Is there a discount for school staff?
    Yes. Teachers qualify for our essential worker discount on every plan, every month, with no expiration. Coaches, counselors, and support staff all qualify too.
  • How fast is the connection compared to a fiber provider out here?
    You will not be able to tell a difference. We run LibreQOS on our network core and keep traffic in Alabama first instead of dragging it through Atlanta. So we deliver fiber performance without any of fiber’s numerous drawbacks in the Chilton County area.
  • What happens when the fiber gets cut around here, as it always does?
    You stay online. Jemison has a redundant wireless path from our Six Mile tower in Bibb County. If the primary fiber goes down, your traffic flips to the wireless backhaul and keeps moving. Most Lightwave customers never notice an outage at all.
