Why Choose ALLO Business? The Difference is More Than Fiber

Check fiber availability

When you’re choosing a technology provider for your business, “fast internet” is only part of the equation. 

Your business depends on its connection for nearly everything — communicating with customers, processing transactions, hosting video calls, protecting data, and keeping your team productive. You need technology that can keep up, but you also need a provider you can trust to be there when you need them. 

That’s where ALLO comes in. 

We combine a 100% fiber network with local service, straightforward business practices and technology solutions designed around the needs of the communities we serve. Businesses shouldn’t have to choose between great technology and great service. You should get both. 

Why Choose ALLO Business for Your Business Internet and Technology? 

Every business is different. A small retail shop may need reliable connectivity for its point-of-sale system and guest Wi-Fi, while a growing company may depend on video conferencing, cybersecurity, and all in multiple locations. 

That’s why ALLO Business goes beyond simply providing an internet connection. 

Our fiber network provides the foundation, while our business technology solutions can help you build the connectivity and infrastructure your business needs. From high-speed business internet and business phone systems to managed IT and cybersecurity solutions, ALLO Business can help simplify your technology under one provider. 

And because we’re built around the communities we serve, you aren’t just another account number. You have a local team behind your business. 

ALLO Fiber vs. Cable Internet: Why Your Business Network Matters 

Not all internet infrastructure is built the same. Traditional cable networks rely on coaxial copper infrastructure, while ALLO delivers 100% fiber directly to your business. Fiber uses strands of glass to transmit data using light, providing a high-capacity connection designed to handle the demands of modern businesses.

 

Feature ALLO 100% Fiber (FTTP) Traditional Cable (HFC)
Connection to your business Fiber runs directly to the premises Fiber runs part of the way, with coaxial cable used for the final connection
Download speeds Fast, high-capacity connections Fast download speeds available
Upload speeds Symmetrical: upload speeds can match download speeds Typically lower than download speeds
Why upload matters Supports cloud applications, large file transfers, backups, video conferencing and more Lower upload capacity can make data-heavy tasks more challenging
Network infrastructure Fiber-optic infrastructure built for high capacity and modern connectivity needs Combination of fiber and coaxial cable
Built for business growth Provides a strong foundation for increasing bandwidth demands Capacity depends on the underlying network and technology

One of the biggest advantages of fiber is symmetrical speeds, which means a connection can upload as fast as it downloads. Businesses aren’t just downloading information. They’re constantly uploading it too – sending large files, backing up data, using cloud applications, hosting video meetings, sharing information with customers and employees, and more. That’s why the type of connection coming into your business matters.

What Are the Benefits of Fiber Internet for Businesses? 

A reliable internet connection is part of the infrastructure that keeps the business running. With fiber, businesses can support the technology they rely on every day, including: 

  • Video conferencing and collaboration tools 
  • Voice and VoIP services 
  • Point-of-sale and payment systems 
  • Security and surveillance systems 
  • Guest and employee Wi-Fi 
  • Large file transfers and backups 
  • Connected devices and IoT technology 

And as businesses adopt new technology, including AI-powered tools, the network supporting those tools becomes even more important. 

The technology your business uses will continue to change. Your network should be ready to change with it. 

What Makes ALLO Different from Other Internet Providers? 

Fiber is important. But not all fiber networks are built the same. ALLO delivers fiber directly to the premises (FTTP), rather than using a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network where fiber runs part of the way and coaxial cable handles the final connection. That difference in infrastructure matters, but we believe the provider behind your network matters just as much as the network itself. 

That’s why ALLO was built around four core values: Local, Honest, Exceptional and Hassle-Free. We think of them as the principles that guide how we build our networks, work with businesses, and serve our communities. 

ALLO’s Four Core Values: Local, Honest, Exceptional and Hassle-Free 

Local: A Business Internet Provider That Knows Your Community 

ALLO may serve communities across multiple states, but our roots are local. 

ALLO Business story started in Imperial, Nebraska, and that small-town foundation continues to shape how we operate today. We believe being local means more than having a physical presence in a community. It means showing up, building relationships and understanding the people and businesses we’re serving. 

When you work with us, you’re working with people who understand the communities where you operate. 

Honest: Straightforward Business Internet Without the Guesswork 

Technology is complicated enough, so we believe in straight pricing and being upfront about our services and pricing so businesses can make informed decisions without trying to decipher confusing promotions or unexpected fees. 

Exceptional: Fiber Infrastructure Built for What’s Next 

Exceptional starts with the network. ALLO Business 100% fiber infrastructure is designed to provide the speed, capacity and performance businesses need today while creating a foundation for tomorrow. 

But exceptional technology also means having the right solutions and support around that network. That’s why we offer more than internet, helping businesses address connectivity, voice, managed IT, cybersecurity and other technology needs. 

Hassle-Free: Technology Support That Doesn’t Feel Like a Chore 

Your technology provider shouldn’t create more work for your team. ALLO Business strives to make the experience straightforward from choosing the right solution to getting support when you need it. 

Instead of navigating complicated processes or juggling multiple providers, businesses can work with our local team to understand their technology needs and can help them find the right solutions. 

From a Nebraska Phone Company to a Fiber Technology Provider 

ALLO Business started as a local telephone company with a simple goal: provide communities with better communications services and a better customer experience. 

As technology evolved, so did we. 

We recognized that communities and businesses needed more than traditional phone service. They needed modern, reliable connectivity that could support the growing role technology played in everyday life. So, we began investing in fiber. 

Today, ALLO’s fiber network reaches communities across Nebraska, Colorado, Arizona and Missouri, while ALLO Business also works with businesses in additional markets through solutions that extend beyond our owned fiber footprint. We’ve grown significantly since those early days in Imperial, but our original philosophy remains at the center of the company. 

How ALLO Invests in the Communities We Serve 

Being a local technology provider means more than building a network and sending a monthly bill. We strive to be one with the community. 

ALLO supports the places we serve through local partnerships, community events, education initiatives, nonprofit organizations and programs like Community Connect. 

We believe connectivity can help communities grow, but we also believe companies have a responsibility to contribute to the communities that support them. 

We’re supporting local organizations. We’re showing up at community events. We’re partnering with schools and nonprofits. We’re investing in the places where our customers and employees live and work. 

ALLO Business: More Than an Internet Provider 

Your business doesn’t operate on internet alone; it relies on a connected technology ecosystem that may include voice communications, managed IT, cybersecurity, Wi-Fi and more. 

ALLO Business brings many of those solutions together under one provider, giving businesses the ability to build a technology strategy around their needs rather than piecing together disconnected services. 

And that same philosophy extends to the people behind the technology. Whether you’re a growing small business, an established company or a multi-location organization, our goal is to understand where your business is today, where it’s going and how technology can help you get there. 

Why Businesses Choose ALLO Business 

There are plenty of companies that can provide your business with an internet connection. So why ALLO? 

For many of our customers, it comes down to the experience of working with us.  

“We use ALLO Business for our phone services and they have been rock solid for 10 years.  We’re talking 100% reliability from the equipment, to the service, to the customer service. The times when we have needed assistance for our own user errors, ALLO’s knowledgeable customer service agents have been phenomenal and they are just one button away at all times, we love that!” 

— Terri Thompson, Executive Director, The Museum at Prairiefire 

They don’t want to feel like just another account number. They want to know the people they work with, have someone they can call when they need help, and work with a provider that takes the time to understand their business. 

That’s something we’ve worked hard to maintain as ALLO has grown. We may serve more communities and offer more technology solutions than we did when we started, but we haven’t lost the local, personal approach that got us here. 

We know that choosing a technology provider is a long-term decision. It’s someone you’re trusting with an important part of your business, and we don’t take that lightly. 

And that idea goes all the way back to where ALLO began: a small Nebraska town, a local phone company and a belief that communities deserved better.
