About Us

Alabama’s Middle-Mile Fiber Backbone

Alabama Fiber Network
Who We Are

We are people who believe deeply in the present and future of this state and its communities. Built by Alabama, for Alabama, Alabama Fiber Network (AFN) brings together rural electric cooperatives and strategic partners around a shared purpose: to connect every corner of our state with reliable, high-capacity fiber. We believe that expanding broadband access is foundational to community development. It opens doors for students to learn, for families to thrive, for businesses to grow, and for rural communities to compete and succeed in a connected world.

At our core, we believe in Alabama: its people, its potential, and its promise. We are committed to ensuring that no community is left behind and that every Alabamian, regardless of geography, has the tools and access needed to pursue their future.
