GCI Fixed Wireless

Starlink Satellite
January 06, 2026 Living in a rural area, getting great internet use to be impossible; however, Starlink changed that entirely! Although it did require a substantial investment to get hooked up, it was well worth the price. Starli k has given me the most stable and quick internet I've ever had. I was worried weather would negatively impact my connectivity, but thankfully, my Starlink works rain, snow, or shine! Even in the middle of winter in negative temperatures, my connection is stable. The monthly price is a little more expensive than other types of service, but well worth the price. I'm extremely satisfied with my choice to get Starlink.

GCI Cable
November 15, 2025 GCI is the worst excuse for an ISP I have ever used. They provide sub par connection stability for an insane price. The only reason this company still exists is because they have a monopoly on internet service in Southern Alaska. They run single lines for service into large apartment and town houses. They knowingly leave this as the solution even though the connection provided will be unstable and insufficient if more than have of the people using that internet line are online at the same time. If I had any other choice, I would pay more way more money just to not have to have GCI as an internet provider.

MTA DSL
August 20, 2025 1990 copper wire installation mistake by MTA - 1 wire instead of twisted pair copper wire connection limited my DSLspeeds and option for upgrades.Been with MTA since dialup internet. No plans by MTA to remedy the mistake despite the node being 50' away from home (under existing paved road might have something to do with it). Fiber internet in Eaglewood neighborhood is years away per MTA Tech that discovered the single copper wire connection. Bailed on MTA to GCI for internet after that.

Starlink Satellite
July 24, 2025 Internet service is consistent, low-latency, and very fast, supporting multiple computers and media demands (streaming video, music, home security) from a single router. The equipment is physically durable and withstands harsh environments without issue. Extremely satisfied with customer service, also - outstanding support, and easy to get to a human who is willing to help.
