Everything You Need to Know About Internet Speed in Alaska

High speed Internet is no longer a luxury. It is now an essential part of life. Unfortunately, if you’re living in rural areas of Alaska, you might encounter slow, costly and clunky Internet connections, trailing the nation’s stats. Recent statssay the Alaska ranks amongst the last when it comes to connectivity – 47th most connected state. In terms of coverage by type, a whopping 89% depend on DSL connections to get online. And, as we all know, sometimes even if you are paying for high-speed Internet you are not getting the types of speeds you need.

Let’s see who the broadband ISP players are and how you can improve the Internet speed in Alaska.

Being separated from the rest of the mainland US, Alaska has a very unique ISP landscape, with companies like GCI Communication Corp (providing cable Internet), Ketchikan Public Utilities (DSL) and Matanuska Telephone Association (DSL). If you have one of these providers and are having slow Internet issues there are three likely causes:

1. Your ISP either has older infrastructure or is throttling your connection
2. You are having router issues
3. Too many of your neighbors have the same ISP and you experience slowing during peak usage hours.

The easiest thing to do is to first test your router to see if that is the source of your problem. But, if the issue is your ISP, your best bet is to use secure a second Internet connection and combine the two connections into a single fast pipe with the Speedify app.

Speedify is a next generation fast mobile VPN service that also works to combine multiple internet connections to deliver a faster, more reliable, and more secure Internet experience.

Speedify can be downloaded for free on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices. The first step to getting faster Internet is to get and install Speedify.

Next, you need to make sure you are connected to one of the Internet connections. Most computers only have a single Wi-Fi card and a single Ethernet port. The easiest process is to connect to the first internet source using your Ethernet port.

The third step is to connect your computer to the second Internet source. The easiest process is to connect to the second source using Wi-Fi.

The last step is to open the Speedify app. Speedify will automatically combine the two different connections into a single fast pipe. You will enjoy a lightning fast Internet experience like you have never seen before.

You can use Speedify to combine any types of connections including:

• Combining a DSL and a Cable Internet connection
• Combining a DSL and a Satellie Internet connection
• Combining a Cable and a Satellie Internet connection
• Combining two DSL connections

Because Speedify is also a VPN, it will keep your data secure from hackers and snoops. Not even your ISP will know what sites you are visiting.

Your fast connection will allow you to easily stream movies and music while also surfing the web. You can say goodbye to buffering and interrupted connections.

If you are tired of the slow Internet speed you experience in Alaska, especially if you’re living in rural areas, it’s time to get started with Speedify and experience the Internet your way.
