You need to have at least Cat 5 wiring to be able to have fiber running into your house.
I’m building a new home, what type of wiring do I need for my house to be fiber ready?
Will fiber change how my current All West services work?
If you are a high-speed internet customer with All West, you will no longer need a modem. Better yet, your internet speed will most likely increase due to more bandwidth availability.
Do I need a home phone line to activate internet service?
We do not require a phone plan for internet service.
What are the benefits of FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home)?
FTTH will provide many benefits to All West customers, including:
-
More Bandwidth: What are the benefits of FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home)?
Fiber has the capability to transport virtually unlimited bandwidth. This will accommodate today’s demand for high-speed internet connections as well as tomorrow's advanced applications. One key advantage is that the closer the fiber is to a home or business, the more bandwidth will be available for the end user.
- Greater Reliability
Fiber-optic cables are less susceptible to glitches than traditional copper wires and can withstand inclement weather shocks and vibrations.
- Future Flexibility
FTTH is considered “future proof” and offers the flexibility to deliver additional services in the years to come. What are the benefits of FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home)? It ensures All West customers remain ahead of future technology demands.
- Cost Efficiency
Fiber-optic cable is more durable and can be made for less than the equivalent length of copper wire. Although the FTTH project requires expenditures now, it will save All West money in the future while keeping us at the forefront of technology.
- Added Value
In addition to bringing you great communication services, the FTTH Council released a study showing access to fiber-delivered internet boosts home values by up to 3.1 percent (http://www.ftthcouncil.org/blog/study-shows-home-values-up-3.1-with-access-to-fiber). But more importantly, people just want fast, reliable broadband service. Were here to help!
What is optical fiber?
Optical fiber is a hair-thin strand of glass, specially designed to trap and transmit light pulses. The fiber uses light instead of electricity to carry a signal. It is unique because it can carry high bandwidth signals over long distances without signal degradation, and it can provide those signals simultaneously in both directions – upload and download. Copper media can also carry high bandwidth, but only for a few hundred yards – after which the signal begins to degrade and bandwidth narrows.
Optical fiber has been used in communications networks for more than 35 years, mostly to carry core telecom traffic from city to city or country to country.
What is Fiber-To-The-Home?
Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) is the delivery of a communications signal over optical fiber from the operator’s switching equipment to a home or business, thereby replacing existing copper infrastructure such as telephone wires or coaxial cable. Fiber to the home is a relatively new and fast-growing method of providing vastly higher bandwidth to consumers and businesses and thereby enabling more robust video, internet, and voice services.
How do I reconnect my service(s)?
Non-pay disconnect:
If you’re disconnected for non-pay, call us at 866.255.9378 to speak with one of our customer service representatives.
If you pay the total amount owed, you won’t be charged a reconnect fee. If you pay the past due amount owed, a reconnect fee will be applied to your account.
Vacation reconnect:

Your services should be back on by the end of that same day.
What is an “Open Internet”?
There are several definitions of an “Open Internet” out there. The very basic premise is that ISPs should not interfere with a consumer’s access to content or data of his or her choosing. As noted above, however, complex questions related to how our country can best achieve this goal and what exceptions might be required to allow for reasonable management of broadband networks lead to all sorts of debates, conflicts, and confusion.
The speed doesn't seem fast enough
Run a speed test:
- Connect an Ethernet cable directly from your modem to your computer (testing with Wi-Fi can significantly impact your results).
- Click here, then click “GO”. (It takes a few seconds for the site to start registering your speed.)
- We recommend that you run the test several times, at different times of the day for accurate sampling.
- Please let us know if your download speed does not reflect the tier of service to which you subscribed. Your speed tier can be found on the last page of your monthly bill.
How to run a speed test on Plume: here
What could adversely affect my test results?
- Run the speed test over a wired connection directly to your modem. Performance over a Wi-Fi network is greatly impacted by several things which are not within All West’s control. Try connecting directly to the modem before running your speed test.
- Multiple devices on the same connection in your household could affect the reading. Try to run the test at a time when the only running device is the computer you are using to run the test.
- Run the speed test at different times of the day. If you test during the hours with the highest network traffic, there is no way to guarantee your speed unless you subscribe to a dedicated connection.
- What is the age of your computer? Just like all technology, computers and equipment advance at a rapid pace. It is possible that if you use an older computer, it will be unable to fully utilize the speeds delivered over your internet connection.
- Re-start your device to ensure an accurate reading or make sure all programs are closed on your computer before running the test.
- If you have a firewall installed on your computer, it could affect the reading. Close your firewall temporarily while you run the speed test and turn it back on when you finish.
- Virus and malware could also impede your computer from running at full speed. Be sure that you keep your computer protected from these malicious programs by installing virus and malware protection.
Speed Test Tips & FAQ's
- A true speed test can only be done by connecting your device (laptop or PC) directly to your Fiber equipment with an Ethernet cable.
- Speed tests from any wireless device or over a wireless connection are only as good as the wireless signal within your residence or office. Wireless signals from routers or extenders can degrade over distance or going through types of structures such as metal buildings, concrete walls, mirrored walls, etc.
- Do not run a test from a smart phone, tablet, gaming system, or any other device connected to your home wireless network.
- Do not run speed tests while connected to your employer’s VPN. Security rules, rate limits, or other rules set by your employer can impact your speed test results.
- Programs running on your computer in the background like automatic updates and Google Drive synchronization can cause degraded speed results as well.
- Speed tests running while also using your Internet connection will only show you the remaining bandwidth available. For example, if you have a 250 Mbps plan and are using 40 Mbps on other devices, your speed test results should be around 220 Mbps.
- Be sure you know your device’s maximum throughput for passing data. If you have a 1 Gbps plan, you need to be sure your device can support these speeds. Otherwise, you are never going to achieve anywhere close to 1 Gbps. If you subscribed to a 1 Gbps plan but only have a 100 Mbps Ethernet port or setting on your router, you will only get close to 100 Mbps.
- For wired connections, verify that the Ethernet cables that you are using are at the minimum standard and tested and verified to meet that standard. The minimum standard for 250 Mbps or higher is Category 5e (CAT5e) cables or for 10 Gbps Category 6a (CAT6a) cables. Cables that are damaged or excessively bent can cause speed issues. Cables that are not terminated properly can also cause speed issues. Cables that have a length longer than 100 meters (300 feet) will not function properly.
- Check how speed varies between wireless and wired. If the difference is considerable to you and your use case, you can make decisions about which devices need to be wired for maximum speeds. For instance, it might make sense for your entertainment devices (Apple TV/Roku) or gaming systems (Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo) to have wired cables tied to them.
- Run speed tests on multiple devices to know their limitations and test within different areas in your space to identify weak spots. If you find that sections of your home have weak wireless areas, you may want to install additional access points, wireless mesh systems to cover these areas. Access points or wireless mesh systems would need to be wired using an Ethernet cable in order to not cause additional speed issues.
- Update your devices’ firmware and operating systems. If your router has gigabit Ethernet, the latest Wi-Fi standard, and a 5Ghz Wi-Fi band already set up, you should still check to make sure that the firmware is updated to the latest version.
- Make sure your devices support the latest Wi-Fi standards. If all you do is use a wireless connection on a particular device, check it’s supported standards. The gigabit-compatible Wi-Fi standard is 802.11ac, but by 2020 this is moving to an 802.11ax standard, otherwise labeled as Wi-Fi 6. See “Ways to Boost Your Wi-Fi Signal” under the ‘Routers & Wi-Fi‘ tab above for more information on wireless troubleshooting.
- Verify on your wired connections that the devices are capable of 1 Gbps speeds. Most recent device manufacturers have physical Gigabit Ethernet ports installed on them. If you have a router or other wired device that is older, it may be using an older type of Ethernet connection that will not be able to support your new speeds, causing your network to slow to the capability of the Ethernet port. Always look in your settings or in the “About” section for your devices to find its capabilities.
All West provisions our modems and engineers our network to provide our customers the speed to which they subscribe. However, we cannot guarantee that you will always achieve those speeds, which is why the service is advertised as “up to” a specific level.
If you have run the speed test and are not completely satisfied with the results, please let us know so that we can ensure your service is properly provisioned and working correctly. Call us at 1-866-ALL-WEST (255-9378).

Do I need a home phone line to activate internet service?
We do not require a phone plan for internet service.
How to report suspected spoofing
If you receive a call and you suspect caller ID information has been falsified, or you think the rules for protecting the privacy of your telephone number have been violated, you can file a complaint with the FCC.
What are the FCC rules regarding caller ID for telemarketers?
FCC rules specifically require that a telemarketer:
- Transmit or display its telephone number or the telephone number on whose behalf the call is being made, and, if possible, its name or the name of the company for which it is selling products or services.
- Display a telephone number you can call during regular business hours to ask to no longer be called. This rule applies even to companies that already have an established business relationship with you.
Is blocking a phone number the same thing as spoofing?
Spoofing is not the same thing as blocking a phone number. FCC rules require telephone companies to make phone number blocking available and free for all calls between states (each state makes its own rules about calls that stay within the state). If you receive a phone call from an “unknown number,” that phone number has been blocked but not necessarily spoofed. Also, you can legally block the transmission of your phone number when you make calls, so your number will appear as “unknown.”
Is spoofing illegal?
Under the Truth in Caller ID Act, FCC rules prohibit any person or entity from transmitting misleading or inaccurate caller ID information with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongly obtain anything of value. If no harm is intended or caused, spoofing is not illegal. Anyone who is illegally spoofing can face penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation. In some cases, spoofing can be permitted by courts for people who have legitimate reasons to hide their information, such as law enforcement agencies working on cases, victims of domestic abuse or doctors who wish to discuss private medical matters.
What can you do if you think you're being spoofed?
You may not be able to tell right away if an incoming call is spoofed. Be careful about responding to any request for personal identifying information.
- Never give out personal information such as account numbers, Social Security numbers, mother’s maiden names, passwords, or other identifying information in response to unexpected calls or if you are at all suspicious.
- If you get an inquiry from someone who says they represent a company or a government agency seeking personal information, hang up and call the phone number on your account statement, in the phone book or on the company’s or government agency’s website to verify the authenticity of the request.
- Use caution if you are being pressured for information immediately.
- If you have a voice mail account with your phone service, be sure to set a password for it. Some voicemail services are preset to allow access if you call in from your own phone number. A hacker could spoof your home phone number and gain access to your voice mail if you do not set a password.
What is spoofing and how does it work?
“Spoofing” occurs when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to your caller ID display to disguise their identity. Spoofing is often used as part of an attempt to trick someone into giving away valuable personal information so it can be used in fraudulent activity or sold illegally. U.S. law and FCC rules prohibit most types of spoofing.
Caller ID lets consumers avoid unwanted phone calls by displaying caller names and phone numbers, but the caller ID feature is sometimes manipulated by spoofers who masquerade as representatives of banks, creditors, insurance companies, or even the government.
How to change my long-distance carrier
You may change your long-distance carrier at any time by contacting Customer Service and completing the carrier change request form. Carriers other than All West will send you a separate bill for long-distance charges. If changing both interstate (out-of-state) and intrastate (in-state) services, both forms will need to be completed. There will be a charge for each carrier change to any number. There is no charge to initiate All West long-distance.
I’m not on the phone, but my line gives a busy signal when someone tries to call.
Troubleshooting suggestion:
- This is usually an indication something inside the home is not working properly, such as a cordless phone, answering machine, fax and/or satellite. Unplug everything from the jacks and use a regular phone to see if there is a dial tone. If unsuccessful, contact Customer Support at 1-866-ALL-WEST (255-9378).
My phones aren't working after a lightning storm.
Troubleshooting suggestion:
- Cordless phones are susceptible to lightning. Unplug all cordless phones and keep a corded phone plugged in. If the line works once all the cordless phones are unplugged, begin plugging in one cordless phone at a time to determine if one was affected by lightning.
The power is out.
Troubleshooting suggestions:
- If the power is out and you do not have Fiber or Co-Ax service, a corded phone will still operate. Cordless phones require power, so they will not work until electricity is restored
- If you have Fiber or Co-Ax service, the phone modem has an eight-hour battery backup for voice calling. To make or receive a call within the eight hours, you must have a corded telephone.
- If you are unsure what type of internet service you have, this information can be found on the last page of your monthly bill.
I have no dial tone.
Troubleshooting suggestions:
- When using a cordless phone, make sure all connections are tightly connected and that there is power to the unit. Try a different outlet to see if that restores service.
- Plug a corded phone into the phone jack to see if you receive a dial tone.
- If there is still no dial tone, please call us at 866 All-West (866.255.9378)

Do These Pods Replace My Current Router? Here's What You Need to Know!
Do These Pods Replace My Current Router?
The Plume system can replace your current router but is flexible enough to also work with your existing router setup. You need to connect one of the Plume Super Pods by Ethernet to your ISP modem or router to make it work. If you keep your router, make sure to turn off your old Wi-Fi. If your ISP modem has Wi-Fi, don’t forget to turn that off as well.
How many pods do I need?
For $9.95/month, you will receive up to 2 Plume SuperPods. Any additional pods are $2.99 per pod.
Will All West be able to troubleshoot my pods from the office—like you did with the GigaCenter?
Yes, we will be able to service all pods from any All West office.
I cannot download the Plume® App. What should I do?
Plume® App is compatible with iOS smartphone devices (iOS 9 or higher) and Android smartphone devices (4.4 or higher). If your device is not compatible with the Plume® App, it will not be available for download.
Please call our Customer Service team at 866-255-9378 and we will help you get an account created.
What does the LED light on my pod mean?
When initially plugging in any pod, the light should always turn solid for a moment, and then the LED will slowly pulse while it is trying to connect to the cloud. What does the LED light on my pod mean? Once connected, the LED will then turn off. If there is no light at all when first plugging in the pod, check your outlet to ensure it has power. If the outlet is okay, there may be something wrong with the pod.
What does the LED light on my pod mean?
When no LED light is shown, the pod should be fully up and running.
1. Green Blinking LED – This could mean the following:
- Quick, repeating Double blinks – Pod is waiting for optimization to finish: You will also see the “Optimizing your network” message in the app. Optimizations usually take 2-3 minutes, depending on how many pods are connected. Optimizations can be triggered by a change in your environment such as high levels of interference but will also happen overnight and immediately after initial setup.
- Quick Double Blinks – Pod is being named: If you are in the process of naming this pod by scanning the pod.
- Green slow continuous pulse/breathing (dim to bright) – Pod is trying to connect with the cloud. Depending on the circumstances, this could mean the following:
- This is normal before adding the pod to your account; the slow pulse will continue until the pod is added and establishes a connection to the cloud.
- The pod has lost connection to the rest of your network, which could be due to a poor signal to other pods.
- Internet connectivity is lost, followed by a “Network is offline” notification. Try the app Self-Help tool to fix the problem.
- If you can’t see all the pods being claimed in your Plume® App and see a slow LED pulsing, contact All West support for assistance.
2. Red slow continuous blinking – Possible fan failure. Contact All West support for assistance.

How to adjust motion sensitivity?
Motion sensitivity may need to be adjusted for the following reasons:
– Improve motion detection sensitivity, particularly if you have only a few SuperPods and/or Wi-Fi connected devices
– There are obstructions that are making it difficult for your SuperPods and devices to detect motion in some areas.
– You are getting too many false motion alerts because of your pets or robotic vacuums.
What are the sensitivity options?
– Low (less sensitive to motion intensity)
– Medium (default)
– High (more sensitive to motion intensity)
If you choose High sensitivity, you can also choose the Have Pets at home option to help filter out their movement in your home. This increases the duration of movement needed to trigger an alert from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.
After choosing your sensitivity setting, use the Live View and test the results in all the areas you want to detect motion in.
How do I change motion sensitivity?
iOS:
- Scroll down on the Home page and Tap on the Sense.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and open Sense Settings.
- Choose your Motion Sensitivity option and toggle the Pet mode (optional).
How does Plume's content access work?
Plume’s Content Access Feature
How does Plumes content access work? Plume’s content access feature will allow you to restrict content for a device or person. We have identified the most common content filtering categories that you can use when personalizing your online experience.
When setting up content filtering for a person or device, you can enable any of the four content filtering categories:
- No limits: You can access all types of content.
- Kids appropriate: Content that is tagged as NOT appropriate for kids will be filtered and inaccessible.
- Teenager friendly: Content that is tagged as NOT appropriate for teens will be filtered and inaccessible.
- No adult content: All content tagged as adult content will not be accessible.
Please note that all devices associated with a person will inherit the content access settings assigned to that corresponding person. Likewise, applying content access restrictions to a device assigned to a person will apply the same settings to that person. However, if the device is unassigned, the rule will only apply to the device. Content access will not work if Privacy Mode has been enabled or if the device is using a Private/Random MAC Address.
What is seen by the end-user when their content is blocked?
Content that was restricted by our security feature whenever you see the “Access to this website is blocked” message displayed in their browser window.
Note: This only appears for HTTP sites; HTTPS sites prevent this and display the browser’s default “can’t be reached” message. HTTPS connections cannot be redirected to the HTTP blocked page because it would break the secure trusted SSL connection.
How do I view my network speeds?
ISP Speed Test:
Want to verify that you’re receiving your internet plan’s advertised speeds? Plume Auto- runs an ISP Speed Test off of your Gateway pod every 6 hours as long as your network is idle, in order to provide you with an up-to-date number. You can also choose to run the ISP Speed Test anytime via the HomePass app on iOS and Android, even when you are not connected to your network.
To run the ISP Speed Test:
- Scroll to the Adapt section on the home page of the App.
- The latest result of the Internet Speed test will be shown, by tapping on it the Speed Test History will come up.
- Tap on Check Speed Now. This will trigger a speed test off of your gateway pod and provide you with the latest results.
- You can turn off the Auto-run ISP Speed Test using the toggle switch.
ISP Speed Test limits:
The limit for SuperPods and PowerPods is 1 Gbps. The built-in ISP Speed Test is limited to around 200Mbps for the original Plume Pods, regardless of the actual throughput that your pods are delivering. If you have a connection faster than this and have a Pod as the gateway, you can use the Device Speed Test feature when your mobile is connected to the Gateway Pod, to get abetter idea of the Speed coming into your Gateway Pod. If you have a PC or Mac, you can download the stand-alone OOKLA speed test App to run speed tests while connected to the GatewayPod.
Why are there missing Speed Tests?
The most likely reason there would be a gap in the ISP Speed Test history is that your network was busy at the time the automatic test was scheduled. By default Plume runs an ISP Speed Test every 6 hours. If your network is busy at the scheduled time, that test will be skipped.The Automatic ISP Speed Test will not run if your network is offline or if the speed test servers are temporarily unresponsive. If this is the case, please check your connection and try running the test again at a later time.
Note: Running a speed test may affect the performance of other connected devices, which is why they do not automatically run when the network is busy. ISP Speed Tests only test the connection at the Gateway pod. Use the Device Speed Test feature to check the Wi-Fi performance on the other pods in the network.
How do I transfer a device from one person to another?
If you accidentally assign a device to the wrong person, you can simply reassign it to another person’s profile (or create a new profile).
- Navigate to the incorrectly assigned device.
- Tap on the ⋮ on the upper right-hand corner to view the device menu and select Assign Device to…
- Select the appropriate profile to move the device to. You can also add a new person profile to your app at the same time!
- Your device will now appear under the new profile!
- Please note that any rules (Adblocking, Content Access, or Online Protection) will be reset to match the new profile.
How do I share network passwords?
- Tap on the menu icon on the App home screen.
- Tap the Access option to view the Network Name and Passwords.
- Tap on Home, Guests or Internet Only to access that zone’s settings page.
- Next to the password, you want to share, tap on the Share icon.

How do I set up motion alert notifications?
When Sense Alerts is enabled, push notifications will be sent to your device whenever the system detects motion. You can enable these notifications to send at all times or only while nobody is at home using the Smart Activation feature.
You need to assign a Primary device to everyone to ensure Sense can properly determine if everyone has left and also enable the People notifications.
Enable Notifications:
- Scroll down to the Sense section on the Home Screen and tap on it.
- Scroll down to the option Sense Alerts and tap on the Bell to enable the notifications.
For Notifications Settings:
- Tap on the Main Menu at the bottom of the screen and then tap on Sense.
- Under Modes and Alerts, slide the Smart Activation toggle to the right if you do not wish to receive alerts while you are home.
- Under the Alerts section, you can set the minimum Time between alerts to either 1 Mins, 2 Mins, 3 Mins, or 5 Mins. This prevents you from getting too many notifications if a motion alert gets triggered immediately after another one.
- Scroll back up to the top of the screen to turn Sense alerts from ON to OFF.
When are Sense Alert push notifications triggered?
Sense alerts will only be triggered if:
– Sense motion detection is enabled.
– Sense Alerts are enabled.
– If the Smart Activation of alerts has been enabled, everyone has left your home. (all assigned primary devices have been disconnected for 15 minutes or more)
– The motion being detected occurs for at least 2 seconds (5 seconds if pet mode is enabled), within an approximate 10′-13′ radius from a motion detection device or SuperPod.
– The minimum time interval since the last alert has been met.
Click here if your Sense Alert push notifications are not behaving as expected..

So the long distance carriers are getting reductions in their costs, but my costs are increasing because of the ARC? Why is this fair?
The access revenues that local exchange carriers receive from the long-distance carriers help offset the cost of providing local service. The FCC recognizes that the local exchange carriers will need another revenue source to offset the revenues lost from these required access reductions. Therefore, the FCC is allowing local exchange carriers such as All West Communications to recover a portion of the revenues lost from these access reductions through the ARC. The FCC determined that the customer (you) chooses to place a long-distance call and the long-distance carrier that is used; therefore, the customer should bear more of the cost.
Is the ARC a tax?
No, it is not a tax. Tax-exempt organizations will also pay the ARC.
Which products or services will the ARC be applied to?
If you subscribe to local telephone service, an ARC charge may be applied.
Will all customers see an ARC charge?
Any customer with a Subscriber Line Charge (SLC) will see an ARC charge.
I didn't ask for this service. How can I get the ARC charge removed from my bill?
The ARC charge is associated with your landline telephone service and cannot be removed from your bill.
Is the ARC charge optional?
No. The ARC charge is not an optional charge and cannot be adjusted off the bill.
How will the ARC charge appear on my bill?
The ARC will appear as a separate charge in the telephone section of the bill.

Once you have completed the configuration, you’ll be able to send and receive emails directly from Outlook, streamlining your workflow and improving your email management.
Third-Party Mail Programs (clients) and Phone Apps
The configuration of third-party mail applications like Outlook, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, and mail applications on iOS or Android devices is left to our customers or their preferred IT/help experts. The settings below are universal and should work on any mail client, on any device. A simple Google search should provide results to configure all popular email client programs/apps.
Auto-Configuration
Many mail clients will work with All West’s auto-configurations. This means that you only need to input your login information into the client and the mail client should automatically configure allsettings. There are instances in which auto-configuration fails and manual configuration is required.
