Alaska Communications has one of the most widespread DSL networks in the state, but the ISP also operates a small fiber network. DSL is outdated, but it’s still a common connection type. 

Availability: You’ll find Alaska Communications service areas scattered around the state, including Anchorage, Delta Junction, Fairbanks, Homer and Kenai. Fiber is available to some neighborhoods in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Soldotna.

Plans and pricing: Speeds vary widely depending on whether you’re connected with DSL or fiber. Alaska Communications offers a DSL plan with download speeds between 7 to 75Mbps starting at $75 monthly. That price includes a three-year discount of $10 a month. Prices go up with speed, and available speeds vary by location. For example, a 25Mbps plan in Delta Junction runs $85 a month after the discount, while a 15Mbps plan in Homer costs the same. Fiber plans start at 250Mbps for $100 monthly and up to 2,500Mbps for $180 a month with unlimited data.

Fees and service details: Alaska Communications’ plans require no contract and include a modem/router and unlimited data. Expect to pay a $99 installation fee.
