ALLO Fiber Agrees to Net Neutrality in Network Lease Deal with Boulder, Colo

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26, 2024 – The Boulder City Council in Colorado voted unanimously (9-0) Thursday to lease part of the city's fiber backbone under a 20-year agreement with ALLO Fiber, a private partner committed to net neutrality and equitable service.

The deal, which includes protections against throttling, data caps, and the sale of customer data, will expand high-speed, affordable internet access across the city, connecting 80% of the city by 2028 and 97% of the city by 2030.

The $9 million deal allows ALLO – a Nebraska-based telecom company available to 1.2 million customers throughout Colorado, Nebraska, Arizona and Missouri – to lease a significant portion of Boulder’s $20 million fiber backbone, completed earlier this year.
