Update on Your Fiber-Optic Internet

Hello Amy,


Thank you for registering your address to receive internet from Alliance Communications.

 

Throughout the past six months, we’ve made good progress building our new fiber-optic network throughout portions of Lincoln and Turner Counties, and soon we'll be connecting some residents to Alliance service. Unfortunately, the recent snowstorms and colder temperatures ended our construction for the year.

 

We had hoped to complete nearly all construction by now; however, supply chain issues prevented our contractors from getting an early start this past spring. We plan to resume construction as soon as the ground thaws.


See below for a progress map


Blue area: Underground construction is done, and we're currently splicing fiber into our network. After our fiber-splicers complete an area, an Alliance representative will contact those customers to install their internet. A typical installation may include installing an optical network terminal (ONT) inside of your home or business, an Alliance Wi-Fi router, wiring and a jack. We estimate that installations will occur between February and July 2023.


Green area: Construction is partially done and will resume in spring 2023. Home installations will occur after construction and splicing are done.

If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (605) 582-6311 or send a message to email@alliancecom.net. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We’re happy to help.

 

Sincerely,

Alliance Communications

Alliance employees visit our new equipment building located south of Tea. This building connects individual fiber-optic lines to the larger communications network.

Our contractors are burying hundreds of miles of conduit and fiber optics in the road right-of-way.

The orange conduit, which protects the fiber-optic lines, is stored on large reels before our contractors bury it underground. Burying our facilities underground protects the fiber from South Dakota's harsh weather.
