On June 3-6, Alliance will be making network changes in isolated areas of ALCESTER, HUDSON, LESTER, HILLS, LARCHWOOD and INWOOD. These changes will allow us to offer even faster Internet speeds in the future. Unfortunately, these changes will temporarily disrupt Internet, cable and phone services in those isolated areas.

Alliance will give you prior notification when we’re ready to start working in your area. You will receive a phone call to the number you have on record with us. Your services could be down for as little as 15 minutes or for as long as 2-3 hours, but the disruption will only occur one time at your home or business. To restore your services, unplug your wireless router, DVRs and set-top boxes from their electrical outlets and then plug them back in.

Alliance Communications, based in Garretson, S.D., received a grant from the State of South Dakota to bring fiber-optic broadband Internet to an underserved area north of Sherman, S.D.

“Connecting homes and businesses directly to a 100 percent fiber-optic network gives users the fastest and most reliable Internet connection available anywhere,” said Ross Petrick, general manager for Alliance Communications.

The project will bring reliable broadband to homes, farms and businesses and create new telecommuting opportunities to locations in northeastern Minnehaha County and southeastern Moody County along SD Highway 11. Network construction to approximately 65 homes and two businesses will begin this spring and will be completed late Fall 2019.

On Monday, April 1, Alliance Communications will be working on basic cable equipment in the communities of Larchwood, Inwood, Hudson and Alcester.

Customers who have basic cable TV may experience a few outages throughout the day, and each disruption may last about 10 minutes. We apologize for the disruptions. If you have additional questions, you can contact us by dialing 611 from any phone with Alliance service, or call (605) 582-6311 from your cell phone.

The No. 6-seeded Jackrabbits will play No. 2 seed Oregon Friday in Portland, Oregon. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2, which is HD channel 324 and basic cable channel 28. The game is scheduled to start at 10 pm central.

Alliance still dispersed capital credits during its regular April timeframe.
