Re: Fast Downloads in Anchorage

Howdy,
  Obviously GCI changed their internet package. It used to be they had a
monthly cap that was woefully low if you downloaded music (with
sharpmusique for linux to access fairplay) or video files. They changed
eh? I think I need to research this. I use MTA as well and it adds a hefty
$50 to my bill and if they need my business than they need to step it up.

Geez. And I'm still stuck here with stingy MTA - both at home and
work. The highest speed they go is 768 (which I still have yet to get
over 70 KB/s on), and they still have the 10 GB download limit. You can
get 4-8MB speeds if you get DTV - but if you are a business, you can't
get that. So bottom line is, they have _no_ decent internet packages
for businesses.

For the same price as what we're paying MTA for 768, we could be getting
10Mbps and no limit with GCI. If they would just run their lines across
the street, but we've been asking them about that for over 5 years now
with no progress.
