About AcenTek:

In 1910 when rural telephone services were unavailable or inadequate, a group of farmers in Michigan got together and started Allendale Telephone. A similar set of events took place in 1950 in southeastern Minnesota. The two phone companies became one in 2009 and today AcenTek, formerly known as Ace Communications Group, provides services in 14 communities in Michigan and 20 communities in southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Iowa. What began as a phone company connecting rural communities has evolved to a technology company connecting homes and businesses to the world. Through a full range of technology services: voice, video, internet and business solutions, AcenTek is Ascending Technology.
