“Oftentimes, the first thing guests ask when they’re checking in
is, ‘what’s your Wi-Fi password,’” said Deal. “Even when people are
on vacation, they need reliable connectivity. It’s important to my
business and my guests. My new fiber service has been a
game-changer.”
Like small business owners, families need fast, reliable and
affordable broadband to keep up with today’s demands. That’s why
Alaska Communications is delivering the fastest home internet
speeds in three communities with Alaska Communications Fiber.
Using cutting-edge fiber optic technology, the broadband
provider is leading the way in how fiber is delivered to end users.
The company’s new broadband internet product is 100% fiber to the
premise, delivering ultra-low latency, symmetric 2.5 gigabit per
second connectivity directly to homes and businesses.
Unlike cable modem networks commonly used to deliver high-speed
internet to most urban Alaska homes, fiber-to-the-home greatly
simplifies service delivery. Alaska Communications’ fiber-based
broadband transmit faster symmetrical internet speeds with lower
latency and higher reliability than cable modem providers.
“Some of our guests are surprised that we have fiber in Alaska –
the latest technology,” said Deal.
“The future is fiber and that’s our focus,” said Mark Ayers,
chief technology officer at Alaska Communications. “The way people
use the internet has fundamentally changed. This means that the way
the internet is delivered also needs to change. Faster speeds,
lower latency and higher reliability along with more choices –
that’s what we’re bringing to our community in Alaska.”
Select neighborhoods in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Soldotna are
eligible for service this year, with additional neighborhoods and
communities planned for future years. To check if your home or
