Best Internet Providers in Wasilla, AK

GCI and Matanuska Telephone Association (MTA) offer the best internet for Wasilla residents. While both operate on fiber-optic networks, GCI has a slight edge, thanks to its symmetrical speeds up to 2 Gbps –– which is realistically more than the average household with multiple devices needs. You should also know, however, that GCI’s coverage is somewhat limited at 77 percent.

While not quite as fast as GCI, MTA is without a doubt an excellent choice for households in Wasilla. Its fiber plans offer symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gbps that can support a wide range of online activities. And thanks to an impressive coverage of over 98 percent, MTA is an ideal candidate if GCI is not available in your particular neighborhood.
