Ace Communication Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ace Telephone, operating more recently as Ace Communication Group is a telephone cooperative headquarted in Houston, Minnesota. source It is a telephone company which also offers internet dialup service; it operates in small towns and rural areas. It serves parts of Houston, Fillmore, and Winona Counties in Minnesota; in Iowa, it serves parts of Allamakee, Winnesheik, and Fayette Counties. source It also owns and operates Ace Telephone Company of Michigan, Inc, headquartered in Mesick, Michigan serving northwestern Michigan in the Wexford, Manistee and Benzie County region. source
As an internet service provider, it also has non-telephone customers within its local dialing area. For internet service, in some parts, especially rural ones, it is the only dialup ISP available. Like AOL it assigns IP address randomly as one logs into an account; consequently, when attempting to edit Wikipedia, one sometimes comes up against a block or ban that had nothing to do with you. Contacting the blocking admin (you should have email enabled on the "my preferences" pick at the top of the page) and mentioning that this is an Ace account is helpful as is providing a reference to this article.
It was formed in 1950 as a rural cooperative to improve telephone service in Fillmore County, Minnesota. It subsequently absorbed a number of other small providers. In 1956 it adopted the "Ace" name. Currently, it has over 24,000 subscribers. source
