Expansion and Timeline

2023 Expansion and Timeline

Cullman Electric Cooperative has announced plans to expand Sprout Fiber Internet into new areas of its service territory beginning in 2022.

More than 9,000 Cullman EC members are included in the 2022 expansion area. 

Construction on the expansion began in October, and subscribers in the 2022 expansion area will be able to receive service starting in May 2022.

Sprout was launched in June 2020 with a phase 1 goal to connect Cullman EC offices and substations to fiber internet, along with 12,000 members who live along the fiber loop around the system. We will complete Phase 1 construction and begin 2022 Expansion connections in spring 2022.
