Best Internet Providers in Big Lake, AK

In Big Lake, Alaska, the Matanuska Telephone Association has made a bold mark as one of the primary internet providers. They offer both DSL and fiber connectivity with blistering maximum speeds that can touch 1 Gbps. The coverage area is large too, spanning 68% of Big Lake - particularly impressive given the lack of cable connections in the area. The lack of upfront pricing doesn't overshadow their contribution to high-speed internet provision; a remarkable achievement given that the fiber and DSL coverage is just 10% and 68%.

On the other hand, Viasat Internet serves as an important alternative. They provide a 100% satellite coverage of Big Lake, offering an unwavering solution to areas where wired connectivity might not be accessible. With download speeds reaching 30 Mbps and packages starting from $49.99 a month, Viasat makes its mark in the Big Lake internet scene. Its necessity is evident in the complete (100%) satellite coverage across the town, filling the void for locations undercovered by other internet services.
