All West Communications and Utah Broadband Center Celebrate High-Speed Broadband Expansion in Rural Utah.

KAMAS, Utah | January 7, 2025 – All West Communications is proud to announce the completion of the Croydon, UT Broadband Project, a collaborative effort with the Utah Broadband Center (UBC), part of the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity. This milestone marks a significant step forward in expanding access to high-speed internet in rural and underserviced communities. To celebrate this achievement, a special fiber optic “ribbon-splicing” was held in Croydon at Holcim Devils Slide Cement Plant on December 5, 2024. State officials, local leaders and community members joined All West Communications and the UBC to recognize the impact of this project.

The Croydon Broadband Project brings fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) infrastructure to more than 50 homes and businesses in Morgan County. This project includes four miles of mainline fiber, seamlessly integrated with All West’s existing network, to deliver up to 1 Gig symmetrical internet speeds. By addressing connectivity gaps, this project empowers a previously underserviced rural community with the tools needed to thrive in today’s digital landscape.

“At All West Communications, we are committed to bridging the digital divide in rural Utah,” said Matt Weller, CEO at All West Communications. “The Croydon Broadband Project demonstrates the power of public-private partnerships to create opportunities for economic growth, enhanced education and an improved quality of life for local residents.”

The project is a testament to Utah’s forward-thinking approach to broadband infrastructure. The FTTP system ensures reliability and the capacity to meet future internet demands for years to come. “I have high-speed, reliable internet which allows my kids to participate in online school and me to continue working remotely,” stated Mike Newton, Morgan County Commissioner and All West customer. “We stay better connected to our friends and family across the globe, operate our small businesses, and even stream TV and movies – some days all at the same time.”

All West Communications worked closely with Morgan County and the Utah Broadband Center to identify the unique needs of the area and tailor the project to meet them effectively. This collaborative effort highlights the importance of delivering solutions that create lasting benefits for communities.

Funding for the Croydon Broadband Project was made possible through the Utah Broadband Access Grant, providing $15 million from the U.S. Treasury’s Federal Capital Projects Fund. This initiative is part of Utah’s larger strategy to expand internet access statewide, ensuring that all communities can connect to the opportunities of the digital age. All West Communications is honored to be part of this transformative project and remains dedicated to providing innovative connectivity solutions across Utah and Wyoming.

All West Communications Brings Better Internet to 30,000 Homes

Kamas, Utah | June 11, 2024 – All West Communications is proud to announce 30,000 homes on the Wasatch Front are now connected to 8 Gig fiber internet speeds as a result of their fiber optic expansion project. The expansion prioritized growth in areas where community-wide fiber connectivity was needed, including Farmington, Tooele, Herriman and the Ogden area.

In addition to internet service available to strictly residential areas in Ogden, All West’s construction project has turned the corner to bring new broadband options to even more addresses. The installation of mainline connections is now being expanded to mixed-use locations and commercial zones in the county, offering fiber internet service to local businesses.

“We are pleased with the dedication of our construction teams and the pace which they are working to bring the fiber network to communities in the Wasatch Front,” stated Matt Weller, CEO of All West Communications. “From smart fridges to security cameras, we want to make sure neighbors and businesses have internet that meets their needs and lifestyles.”

Significant milestones are also being hit in other expansion cities. Nearly 100% of homes within their service areas in Farmington have a mainline access point on their street, making fiber-to-the-home connections possible. It’s anticipated that thousands of more homes will be installed as the fiber roll-out ramps up over the summer, including in Herriman, where the first homes were connected in May.

Building fiber internet in densely populated communities frees homes from the bandwidth constraints of other providers while providing lightning-fast speeds to power all the devices in your home.

For the sixth consecutive year, All West Communications has been able to provide a monetary donation to give much-needed funds for local food banks in their service areas. This year, the following food banks will receive a combined donation of $5,000:

Bountiful Food Pantry, Bountiful, UT
Christian Center of Park City, Park City, UT
Community Action Services, Coalville, UT
Community Action Services, Oakley, UT
Food Bank of Sweetwater County, Green River, WY
Food Bank of Sweetwater County, Rock Springs, WY
Joyce Hansen Hall Food Bank, Ogden, UT
The Lord’s Storehouse, Evanston, WY
Tooele Community Resource Center, Tooele, UT
Weber Cares Pantry at Weber State University, Ogden, UT

All West believes in making a difference in the communities they serve. Their Community Connections program allows them to support local non-profit groups, community events, and neighbors. Each year, over $50,000 is given back to the community.

Since 2018, All West has been able to give back to the communities by providing funds to local food banks. They are happy to contribute to these food banks, as they are a vital part of the community. While resources are needed all year long, the start of the holiday season in November creates a greater need for donations. The donations will help each food bank be able to provide food and supplies in the spirit of the season of giving!

Kay Rossiter, director of The Lord’s Storehouse in Evanston, WY, expressed appreciation for All West’s continued support. “We are feeding 250 families a week right now and every dollar is being put to use,” stated Rossiter. In addition to helping families, pantry donations also help support the operation so it can stay open to the community.

This year, All West included the communities of Farmington, Tooele and Ogden, UT in their food bank donations. They are actively building their fiber network in each of the cities and wanted to show their gratitude to the residents. The Bountiful Food Pantry, serving residents of Farmington, believes in their mission to relieve hunger and increase self-sufficiency of Davis County residents living in need. The Tooele Community Resource Center provides food assistance, along with housing assistances and a thrift store in Tooele. “Your donation is so needed and appreciated,” expressed Food Bank and Resource Center Director, Christie Johnson.

The Weber Cares Pantry with the Center for Community Engaged Learning at Weber State University is very grateful for this generous donation from All West Communications. Financial donations such as this will be used to continue to stock the critical food and resource needs for students as we head into the holiday season. “Last year, we distributed over 21,000 pounds of food to over 2,000 visitors,” stated Teresa Martinez, Student Engagement Coordinator. The pantry heavily relies on private donations and donations from food banks. Waiting for these donations, however, leads to bare shelves due to the high demand of food from the students. Having the financial ability to go directly to the stores to buy food allows them to stock the pantry right away to meet needs while waiting for other donations to come in. “We are on track to exceed the number of visitors this year, which only increases our need for more donations to meet demand. We look forward to utilizing these generous funds in useful ways to continue to meet the food needs of our students,” said Martinez.

All West encourages their customers to find ways to give back to their communities this year. Here are a few ways to give back:

Volunteer:

Donate your time by volunteering with local organizations. Local non-profits, schools, shelters, senior centers and food banks are always looking for people willing to help their cause. Websites like Great NonProfits, Feeding America, JustServe and even local Facebook groups are great ways to find volunteer opportunities.

Act:

A random act of kindness can go a long way! You never know who around you needs help, or even a pick-me-up after a rough day at work. Consider shoveling your neighbor’s driveaway after a nighttime snowstorm or baking cookies for your coworker’s family. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation provides free resources to help you make kindness the norm.

Donate:

Physical and monetary donations are an effective way to help your community. Find out if your local food bank is accepting donations and what items they need the most. It’s as easy as adding a few extra cans of food to your shopping cart next time you get groceries. Thrift stores also take donations of new and gently used items. Don’t have any items to donate? A $10 donation is just as helpful to local organizations. Your gift will always make a difference!

Giving back helps aid, support and make a difference in community members’ lives. All West believes in supporting the communities they serve and help give back year-round through their Community Connections program.

We wish you a very Happy Holidays and a joyful New Year!

We would like to extend our sincerest thank you for choosing All West, and welcome you to the family!

We’re Here To Serve You

We look forward to serving you and your family with all your communication needs by providing exceptional local customer service. We’re neighbors serving neighbors, and we’re here to help. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns about your service.

We can be reached at:

866-ALL-WEST (255-9378)

Help@AllWest.com

Stop by any of our offices

Here’s what you can expect for your service installation:

If you signed up with us over the phone, you should have a scheduled service drop line and install date. If not, give us a call.
If you signed up online, one of our Customer Care team members will give you a call to schedule your install service and verify your information.

The install process happens in two phases: 1.) Installing the outside of your home with a Service Drop Line. 2.) Installing the inside of your home by setting up your modem and router.

Service Drop Line

If we haven’t previously serviced your address, to get your services up right away, we will schedule a time to install a temporary service line to your home above ground. Our construction team will then come back at a later date to permanently bury this line. When it’s time to install or bury the line, you will be notified, but you do not need to be present for us to complete this process.*

*Our construction crews have landscaping backgrounds and are trained to leave no trace. This includes complete repair of any landscaping that is altered during the burial process of your line.

If you already have a service line to your home, we will schedule for a tech to come out as soon as possible for your in-home install.

In Home Install

Once your Service Drop Line is in place, we will send out a technician to complete your home installation. The install time will be within a two-hour window, and we will need someone over the age of 18 years to be present. Your local service technician will call before their arrival.

Items you need for your install:

Router – With your All West services, you have the option to choose your own router or use Plume, All West’s managed wi-fi system.

TV Streaming Device– For your All Wes.tv service, you will need a compatible TV streaming device. There are many options to choose from, but we recommend the Amazon Fire TV Stick. If you have an AV company that helps you with your home theater or other entertainment set-ups, we recommend having them get in touch with us before your install.

The technician will start by activating the Service Drop Line to your home. Once that has been completed, they will get your modem started and connect your router. When this is finished you will then have access to the internet and can set up your home network, including passwords, security, and more.

Internet vs. Wi-Fi

Every install is a little different based on the age of your home and how it was designed. On average, your in-home install should take an hour.

Thank you for choosing All West, and we look forward to serving you and your family.
