ALLO Company History

ALLO Communications is a Nebraska-based and Nebraska-owned telecommunications company offering local telephone, long distance, broadband, internet and television to residents and businesses across Western Nebraska. ALLO was formed and certified as a Nebraska Eligible Telecommunications Carrier in 2003 by current president and Nebraska native, Brad Moline.

ALLO currently provides communications services to over 20 Nebraska cities in the (308) area code. ALLO installed a state-of-the-art switch and began building its fiber network in 2004-2005 within the Scottsbluff and Gering communities. Current construction projects and operations are also under way in Alliance, Bridgeport, Ogallala and North Platte, Nebraska.

With a clear focus on western Nebraska, ALLO is developing a world-class regional network to expand business opportunities, create jobs, and improve quality of life for Nebraskans. Soon, ALLO will reach all residents and businesses in these Nebraska towns and provide unmatched entertainment and communications options.

ALLO’s growth and success during the past eight years are reinforced by its immaculate reputation for customer service, technical capabilities, experienced personnel and superior products. ALLO provides customers with the most modern network in western Nebraska while employing a team of engineers, operators and technical experts who are constantly working with customers to develop creative ways to utilize the immense capacity on ALLO’s fiber network and better serve our customers.

Brad Moline, who serves as ALLO’s chief executive officer and president held several senior positions with organizations across the U.S. before returning home to Nebraska with his wife to raise their family. Among those positions, Moline was the senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and a driving force behind the exponential growth of Birch Telecom, Inc. in Kansas City.

ALLO’s history provides a solid foundation for a future of continued, innovative growth as a local telecommunications company.

ALLO’s Internet Redundancy

Here’s a little bit about ALLO Communications’ internet redundancy and dependability program in those markets where ALLO has an all-fiber network.

Background

ALLO Communications began with a goal to offer Nebraska the best communications technology available. That means a 100% fiber network including fiber to the home. Less than 5% of the nation has access to such capacity. To ensure day in and day out reliability to our customers, we invested in a robust redundancy program.

Most of our competitors have only one direct internet connection causing peak usage issues and redundancy concerns. However, ALLO has made the investment in multiple connections virtually erasing down time concerns.

Redundant Carriers & Routes

ALLO links our internet drains directly to major peering companies to the east and west. ALLO dynamically routes between multiple providers. In the event of an outage by one of the parties, ALLO automatically routes traffic over the other the providers.

Bandwidth

Our network capacity is so immense that ALLO’s customers seldom utilize more than 50% of our bandwidth. ALLO monitors usage and could purchase additional bandwidth as needed. Customers are able to actually experience the bandwidth promised at all times of the day even during peak usage hours.

Symmetric Service

ALLO Communications provides a superior internet service. Our speeds are unparalleled in the area and the reliability of our all-fiber network is unmatched in western Nebraska. Businesses require tremendous upload and download speeds. ALLO’s competitors offer asymmetric speeds which makes internet speeds unreliable. You may get 10 Mbps down but then only 1 Mbps up. Unfortunately, the slowest speed in that formula controls the information flow between offices.

ALLO’s symmetric speeds of 10-50 Mbps up and 10-50 Mbps down guarantee efficient and reliable communications between all of your business locations and between you and your customers.

While no solution is perfect, ALLO’s services remained live while our competitors suffered wide spread outages. ALLO’s carrier and route redundancy combined with symmetric service and sufficient bandwidth provides our customers with the best and most dependable internet service offered in western Nebraska. ALLO offers our exceptional local and long distance phone service and DSL internet in Alliance, Atlanta, Axtell, Big Springs, Broken Bow, Cairo, Central City, Chadron, Crawford, Elm Creek, Elwood, Emerson, Farwell, Fremont, Fullerton, Gothenburg, Grand Island, Harrison, Holdrege, Lexington, Loup City, McCook, Minden, Norfolk, North Platte, Omaha, Oxford, Schuyler, Sidney, Silver Creek, St. Libory, St. Paul, Valentine, Wood River.

ALLO has an all fiber network in Scottsbluff, Gering, Alliance, Bridgeport and Ogallala.
