A Lincoln, NE Customer
Allo Fiber
March 15, 2026 Allo has been very willing to work with me on any issues i have. They were also willing to open up some ports and even gave me the password so i could do it myself. Allo has also been very upfront of why the price barely increased, and are very open to where the money we pay goes to. Allo beats the competition (windstream and spectrum) by ten fold, not even close. They were very easy to contact and start a service through. even going as far to trench in my fiber line and lay grass where it got torn up a little. Not to mention i can do everything online with them, even trouble shooting.

Windstream Fiber
December 07, 2025 This is our first time using fiber internet. Previously, we used a cable modem. We switched because of a better price offer for the first 12 months and did not notice a substntial difference between the two modes of internet.

Bloom Broadband Cable
January 14, 2024 Bloom Broadband is provided via a private contract to apartment complexes owned by a single parent company. Tenants at these apartment complexes are required to use the services provided by Bloom Broadband—they are not offered a separate choice for wired internet service. Tenants are allowed to select from one of several tiers, and the prices increase incrementally based on the speed desired and the data limit. This cost is added to the tenant's monthly rent.
A middle-grade package is going to add $60 to your rent; however, this price has been slowly climbing. You are required to bring your own—and then register your—modem, meaning that if you replace it you are unable to use it until you call the company and give them information about the modem. This is also the case if you use a splitter to have access to more wired connection slots. A minor inconvenience.
Because the service is only for tenants under a specific apartment company, customer service is quite easy to access via phone and get resolution. The service is rarely down, and is overall quite stable.
The primary downside is that Bloom Broadband enforces data limits, and you are charged per megabyte over this limit. While the limits are generous for general usage, hosting servers and the like with high data-usage requirements is likely going to push you over, and you will be charged a very significant amount of money. But for gaming, streaming, and general technology use, you'll likely never get close to the limit (for the middle-grade package, the limit is 1.5 terabytes).
All in all, I don't have a choice in whether I want to use it, and I would prefer to have a service that allows me to bundle other services such as TV that would result in an overall lower price, but given the circumstances, it does what I need it to do and does that task well.

Bloom Broadband Satellite
December 07, 2023 Bloom Broadband is the internet service offered through my apartment complex. They have their own satellites here and that is the only service available here. They don't allow us to get outside internet companies. Bloom has 3 tiers available and I subscribe to the second fastest speed. Its pretty good but sometimes glitches out.

Quantum Fiber
March 16, 2026 The customer service for Quantum Fiber is the most horrible I've ever seen in my life sadly. Today the customer service gal named Deanne or Deanna, I couldn't understand her, that I got was rude, she kept making me repeat myself several times throughout the phone calls because she wasn't paying attention, she hung up on me three different times and I had to keep calling back, and I asked to talk to a manager several times and she absolutely refused to connect me to a manager so if you ever have any problems with this service guess what you will not get connected with a service manager to resolve any issues because the customer service people that answer the phone are very controlling and they need to know every single detail before they'll even think about POSSIBLY letting you talk to a service manager. Our service was supposed to be set up a few days after we paid for it and it didn't end up getting set up for 3 weeks! Don't waste your time or money!
