GCI Fixed Wireless
August 13, 2024 GCI is the best internet service provider in Alaska - at least, if you live in the Municipality of Anchorage - if you live outside of the city, you have other local providers that have varying degrees of service depending on region.
The upload/download speeds for GCI's plans are usually half of what is stated (for instance, if your plan gives upload speed of up to 5mb/s, then it'll actually clock at ~2.5mb/s if you check the reading.)
This is still plenty enough, even if there are multiple users in a household streaming/gaming, but still good to keep in mind if you anticipate having high usage.
The download speeds in Anchorage are high as well, since they've just installed 5G towers in recent years.
The customer service for GCI is very good - the employees always give their name & employee number at the start of each call, are very patient, & often willing to compromise or give discounts, benefit of the doubt, &c whenever I have to call them.
GCI does have a bit of a monopoly here in town, so they can charge whatever they want (in theory), but their second cheapest plan is only $115, which is fair.

June 27, 2024 I live in Alaska, United States, and internet is spotty all over the state. I currently have GCI, which is the only local provider I can use due to my location. Because of this they have some rather indifferent polices and the customer service is awful. They know they can be sub par and still charge what they want and had bad polices and you have little choice if you want internet. They did finally go to unlimited internet a few years back, eliminating meted connections, but so many other things they fall woefully behind in.

GCI Cable
January 16, 2023 Our internet provider is GCI. Here in our state we only have two internet provider. The other one is ACS and it's based on location. Which leaving most of the people to use GCI. GCI charge for their unlimited internet at a very expensive price. Ours is $180 a month. There are times where the internet is slow. If we're home and we're using the wifi then our data will be slow.
