- Real fiber for Marion
Marion is on the fiber. Internet that stops surprising you.
Symmetrical 1 Gig for $69 a month, no contract, and a rate you lock in for 2+ years. Internet and WiFi from Intellipop, on the open-access fiber network now live across town.
You have heard a price promise before.
Probably more than once, with a date attached that sat in the fine print until the bill changed. So judge this one by how it works. Trace your rate back to where it starts and you reach one cost: a wholesale fee the network operator charges us for each Marion home we serve.
First, your rate rests on that fee and is locked for 2+ years. Second, if the operator changes that fee, we share the amount and the start date with you as soon as we learn them, and your rate moves by exactly that amount. The change you were told about is the change you see.

Symmetrical on all three plans, which means a video call, a photo backup and a game download do not have to take turns. No caps, no contract, no separate network connection fee, and the first month costs nothing.
Managed WiFi is a $12.95 a month add-on, never folded into the plan price, and it comes with the right router for your plan and your floor plan. Bringing your own is fine, and we will help you choose one.
One price, printed once. No contracts, no surprises.
Where the fiber is going.
Selma, Valley Grande, Marion, Demopolis, Uniontown, Orrville, Linden, Alberta and Gallion are live now, with more communities served nearby. The network keeps growing across west Alabama through 2027.
Think about the last time you called for help.
On most support lines, a recording picks up first and reads out a menu. You press a number, maybe two, and then you wait on hold.
Somewhere past all of that is a person who can fix the connection. Getting to them is the slow part.
During a Friday night outage, every minute of that wait is a minute of the game you miss.
What doing nothing costs.
Nothing today. Then the promotional rate ends, the number moves, and the upload speed is still the upload speed. The support queue does not get any shorter either.
One afternoon to switch. Or an evening lost, repeatedly, on somebody else’s schedule. Those are the two prices actually on the table.
Your install day starts as a request.
- First, the address. You get a yes or a not yet for that home.
- While you order, request the day you want and a window. The whole order is about two minutes, and you pick a morning or afternoon window.
- Our team reaches out and confirms the install day and the order. No contract comes with the service, and you are not charged for the first month.
Open-access fiber is what we do.
Marion sits on an open-access build, which means the company that owns the glass does not sell the service, and providers have to compete on the part you actually experience.
We have done it since 2014, and now in six states. 4.9 stars from 1,450+ Google reviews, and support calls picked up in under 60 seconds on average.
Picture the Friday night you are not troubleshooting.
Everyone at home, everyone online, nothing buffering. Somebody watching the game, somebody on a call with family two states away, somebody uploading a week of photos from the weekend.
Then the bill arrives and it is the number you expected. It will be that number next month too.
When something does break, and eventually something does, you call and a person answers.

About the fiber network in Marion.
The fiber under Marion is an open-access network. One company builds and maintains the glass, and independent providers compete to sell the internet service that runs over it.
The network is mStreet Alabama, a $230 million privately financed fiber build running more than 300 miles across west-central Alabama, headquartered on Church Street in Selma with a data center at Selma University. Marion, the seat of Perry County and home of Marion Military Institute since 1842, is one of the network’s live towns, and the communities across Perry County are on the same build.
mStreet Alabama builds and runs the network. It does not sell internet service directly.
134 streets, and almost all of them are in town.
Marion carries more than 850 ready-for-service addresses spread across about 134 named streets, nearly all of it in the 36756 ZIP. That ratio is the thing worth noticing. Marion is laid out as a real town grid rather than a set of rural routes.
The list runs through the residential blocks around and out from the courthouse square. Centreville Street, West Green Street, West Lafayette Street, West Cornelia Street, Clements Street, Thompson Street, Clay Street, Graham Street, Aurelia Street and Davis Street are on it, along with Lincoln Park Road, Lincoln Heights, Centreville Road and the Highway 14 frontage.
A grid is good news for a fiber build. Short blocks mean each run of fiber reaches more homes, which is why a town of Marion’s size ends up as well covered as it is. It is also why the build moves the way it does: crews finish a block, then start the next one, so two streets that look identical from the outside can be weeks apart.
Marion sits at 361 feet, which is high ground by the standards of this part of the state, and it is the seat of Perry County. Uniontown, about 20 minutes southwest, is on the same build and has its own page.
Intellipop is the internet provider on it. We have provided internet over open-access fiber since 2014, and we are in six states now. 1 Gig is $69 a month, symmetrical, no contract, rate locked in for 2+ years.
Questions people ask.
Is my Marion address ready?
Marion is being connected block by block, so the honest answer depends on your street. There are more than 850 ready-for-service addresses across about 134 Marion streets today. Put your address in and we will tell you exactly where you stand. If it is not ready yet, leave it with us and we will come find you when it is.
Is this real fiber?
Yes. Glass to the house. The giveaway is the upload speed: on real fiber it matches the download, and on anything else it does not.
How does this compare to what I pay now for cable?
Two differences worth knowing. Your upload speed matches your download speed here, which cable does not do. And you lock in your rate for 2+ years instead of watching it step up when a promotional clock runs out. Put your address in and compare the real numbers side by side.
Do you serve the rest of Perry County?
Yes. Uniontown is live and has its own page, and Newbern and the communities around Marion are on the same network build. Put in the address the same way and you will get a straight answer for that street.
Do you cover the streets around the square and the college?
The residential grid around the courthouse square is on the ready-for-service list, including Centreville, West Green, West Lafayette and West Cornelia. Institutional buildings and multi-unit addresses depend on what is already wired inside them, so put the specific address in and we will tell you where it stands rather than guess.
What is an open-access network?
One fiber network, built and maintained by one company, open to independent providers who compete for your business on it. mStreet Alabama builds and runs the glass. Intellipop delivers your internet over it. You get local infrastructure and a provider that has to keep earning you. That is the whole point.
Is Yellowhammer the same as mStreet Alabama?
Yes. Yellowhammer Networks, LLC was renamed mStreet Alabama in June 2025, when its owner Meridiam rebranded the company. Same fiber, same crews, same network. So the build that has been going in across west Alabama since 2024 is the same network you would be connecting to today, whichever name you heard first.
Who is the internet provider on mStreet Alabama?
Intellipop. mStreet Alabama builds and runs the network but does not sell internet service directly, so the plan, the bill and the support all come from us. 1 Gig is $69 a month, symmetrical, with no contract, and a rate you lock in for 2+ years.
Do I need a contract?
No. Nobody should. Stay because it works, not because a piece of paper says you have to.
Will my price go up?
The rate is locked for 2+ years. Underneath it is a wholesale fee we pay the network operator for every home we serve, and your price only moves if that fee does. If that ever happens you hear the amount and the date from us as soon as we know them, and your price changes by exactly that much. Nothing resets at month 13.
What equipment do I need?
The fiber modem is included with your install. For WiFi you can add Managed WiFi at $12.95 a month, which comes with the right router for your plan and the size of your house, or bring your own and we will help you choose a good one.
What if I am in an apartment, or I need service for my business?
Ask anyway. Apartment buildings and business addresses depend on the building and the line into it, so the answer is a real answer rather than a rule. Put the address in and we will tell you where it stands or get you to whoever can.
Who does the install?
Your install is handled by the network operator, which runs the fiber and has its crews come out. Everything around that visit sits with us: taking your order, confirming the install day after you ask for one, and handling the service, bill and support from then on.
