Faith Foushee, Hannah Whatley, USA Today: Find and compare internet providers in Alaska
Alaska is known for its breathtaking national parks, glaciers and lakes but faces unique challenges in delivering fast and reliable internet service. Due to the state’s diverse and rugged terrain, Alaska’s median internet speeds are significantly lower than the national average, with upload speeds averaging about 89 Mbps and download speeds around 18 Mbps.
In more populated cities like Anchorage, you’ll find a wider range of internet options and faster speeds. GCI’s cable service offers the highest speeds, starting at $89.99/mo. For those living in remote or rural areas, your options may be limited to satellite providers such as Starlink and Hughesnet. Although fiber internet is available in Alaska, it is limited to only about 4% of the state.
