Best Internet Providers in Alaska

Alaska has a lot to offer, including rugged natural beauty, national parks, stunning glaciers and fresh seafood. However, the offerings are limited when it comes to internet options available to the state's 730,000 residents. Whether it's fiber, fixed wireless, DSL or satellite, you'll have to make some compromises when picking an internet service provider in Alaska. According to our CNET experts, GCI is the top pick for most in the state -- if it's available in your neighborhood. GCI is CNET’s pick for the best internet service provider in Alaska, thanks to top speeds of 2.5 gigabits per second and the widest (and still growing) availability of any wired provider in the state. If you're hunting for the lowest prices around or the fastest blazing speeds, we've also found those top options. One of the cheapest internet plans in Alaska is offered by Alaska Communications featuring up to 2,500Mbps starting at $80 a month.
