As of June 2015, the company’s Southeast Route spanning from Miami, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia and connecting all points in between, is Ready for Service.[1]

History
Allied Fiber was established in 2008 by Hunter Newby, CEO and Founder of Allied Fiber.[2]
Network
Allied Fiber’s Southeast segment comprises 700-miles spanning from Miami, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia.[1] The north segment of Allied Fiber's network includes new routes covering New York City, NY to Chicago, IL; New York, NY to Ashburn, VA; and Chicago, IL to Ashburn, VA.[1] Since Allied Fiber’s launch, it has been fielding requests for new, neutral colocation and dark fiber along the route it has constructed, in addition to requests for its future planned route segments along the proposed ring that it has not yet built.[1]
To respond to its requests, in February 2015, Allied Fiber launched a survey asking the public to rank these route segments in order of priority and level of interest in the following areas:
- Atlanta, GA to Ashburn, VA
- Ashburn, VA to New York City, NY
- Ashburn, VA to Chicago, IL
Allied Fiber will use the results of this survey to decide on the build out of its next market.[1]
