Built from a foundation of integrity and strong business ethics, Powernet was established in 1992 in the basement of President Bernie Stevens' Cincinnati home. A pioneer of value-oriented communications services as primarily a reseller of residential long distance to agents and affinity groups, Powernet has matured to become a full-service provider of integrated voice, data, wi-fi and managed service provider to commercial customers.
As a certified WBENC (Women's Business Enterprise National Council) business, Powernet upholds strong values in the telecom industry by delivering the highest quality, reliability and service at a competitive price, and ensuring that the customer is always number one and that its agents always maintain competitive rates and high commissions. By maintaining its focus on customer satisfaction and leading-edge technologies, Powernet is changing the way people think about their service providers.
