Every cooperative customer is an owner of Alliance Communications. One benefit of being a member-owner is receiving capital credits payouts. If revenues exceed the costs of doing business, Alliance gives money back to its customers in the form of capital credits checks.

With the incoming spring storm, icing on powerlines could cause some areas to lose electricity. If a power outage disrupts your Alliance services, your phone, Internet and cable services should return automatically once electricity is restored. But if they don’t, you should unplug your set-top boxes, DVRs, and routers, wait for a few minutes, and then plug them back in.
 
Just as a reminder if you lose power, your Optical Network Terminal will start using its backup battery (if you chose to have one installed) for a few hours. When your ONT is using its backup battery, it will only support phone service and 911 access over a corded phone. Remember that cordless phones need electricity to function.

Call our office at 605-582-6311 or 1-800-701-4980 if you need help restoring your services following a power outage.
