Allo Communications started in Imperial, Nebraska in 2003 and built fiber to every address in Lincoln by 2019. The pitch from day one has been simple. Pure fiber, no copper, published rates, and a price that consistently undercuts the incumbent.
The footprint has grown into Colorado, Arizona, and parts of Iowa. Where Allo serves, they are usually the cheapest fiber-to-the-building option in the metro.
ALLO Communications: who's funding the Lincoln-out build
ALLO says it is privately funded by founder Brad Moline, SDC Capital Partners, and Nelnet (NYSE: NNI); its current about page lists those investors and does not announce a 2023-2026 change of control. ALLO does not publish a passings or subscriber count on its about page, but it says it serves 54 cities across Nebraska, Colorado, Arizona, and Missouri totaling more than 1.4 million people, with business availability documented in Lincoln, the Omaha Metro, the Des Moines Metro, the Kansas City Metro, and Greeley.
On September 24, 2024, Calix and ALLO said they had completed a 50G PON trial on ALLO's production network in Lincoln, Nebraska, aimed at future business and residential service growth. That is an unusual technology milestone for a regional fiber operator and signals where the next round of business pricing in those metros is likely to land. On the billing side, ALLO's BBB public record includes a July 27, 2025 customer review alleging continued billing and double billing after attempted cancellation, which is a specific example of post-cancel billing friction.
As of May 2026, ALLO does not publish a public ALLO Business internet monthly rate on its Business Internet and Data page; it routes buyers to Get Your Free Quote instead of a posted business checkout price. The published residential rate card is the closest available proxy for a real ALLO business comparison.
What Allo sells
Three main business plans.
- Allo Business Fiber 500 Mbps. Around $80 a month. Symmetrical fiber.
- Allo Business Fiber 1 Gig. Around $100 to $130 a month. Symmetrical fiber.
- Allo Business Fiber 2 Gig and higher. Custom quote, used by larger offices.
Allo also sells dedicated internet access (DIA) with hard SLAs to mid-market customers.
Where Allo serves
Allo has fiber across Lincoln, Grand Island, North Platte, and many smaller Nebraska cities. They have expanded into Fort Morgan and Greeley in Colorado, Flagstaff and Sedona in Arizona, and parts of Iowa.
The Lincoln footprint is the most complete. Almost every address in the city has Allo fiber available.
What you should be paying
These are dedicated internet ranges from current carrier wholesale data, marked up to typical retail.
Allo and peers, typical retail (mid 50%)
Monthly recurring charge, dedicated internet access (DIA). Numbers are derived from current carrier wholesale quotes. Shown as a metro-tier band where city-level data is thin.
| Speed | Typical retail (mid 50%) | Sample size |
|---|---|---|
| 100 Mbps | $630 – $1,060/mo | n = 6 |
| 500 Mbps | $955 – $1,660/mo | n = 6 |
| 1 Gbps | $1,195 – $2,000/mo | n = 7 |
| 10 Gbps | $1,560 – $6,250/mo | n = 6 |
If your bill sits above the high end of the band, you are likely overpaying.
Analyze My Bill FreeFor Allo Business Fiber 1 Gig at $100 to $130, the comparison is favorable. Spectrum coax at 600 Mbps runs $150 to $230 in Lincoln. Windstream Kinetic Fiber at 1 Gbps runs $130 to $200. Allo sits 20 to 30 percent below the incumbent on price-to-speed.
When Allo is the right answer
It fits when:
- Your address is in their footprint
- You want symmetrical upload for cloud backup, video, or VoIP
- You do not need a hard enterprise SLA with credits
For mid-market customers, Allo's DIA product carries hard SLAs and is competitive against the national carriers.
The three side charges to watch on Allo bills
- Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) fee. Real federal tax. Should be small on broadband-only bills.
- State and local taxes. Vary by jurisdiction.
- Equipment rental. $5 to $15 a month for the gateway, often waived on multi-year terms.
How Allo pricing changes at renewal
Allo Business plans are typically 12 to 36 months. The auto-renewal does not include the 30 to 50 percent jump you see on cable carriers.
If your rate creeps up at renewal, retention is direct: name a competing quote, and Allo will usually match.
What to do this week
- Check whether Allo reaches your address.
- If you are currently on Spectrum or Windstream copper and Allo serves your building, run the math.
- If you are already on Allo and your rate has crept up, get one competing quote and call retention.
