In 2003, ALLO was founded in Imperial, Nebraska, and has rapidly grown to meet demands for better communications services in many communities. Residents and businesses deserved more from a telecommunications provider, and ALLO set out to deliver something better. Twenty years later, ALLO is still dedicated to delivering a drastically different experience through their four core values: honesty, exceptional, local, and hassle-free.
