Share revenue, not fiber.

As a customer-owned communications cooperative, Alliance guarantees our owners receive the best services and prices. When revenues exceed costs, we share our excess revenue with our owners in the form of capital credits checks.

To ensure the vision for our cooperative is shared, our customers elect nine of their fellow owners to the Alliance Communications Board of Directors to attend monthly board meetings.

As an Alliance owner, our future is all yours.
