Yeah I can't speak to their poor reliability. I have been a internet customer of GCIs since 2005  in Anchorage, Palmer, and Wasilla. Between those three places I can only remember maybe a few brief outages in all those years, all of which they resolved quickly.

Nope, I'm not an employee, just a happy customer. I also frequently experience the "joy" of using 256 kbps to 1.5 mbps internet over satellite in the Bush, paying twice as much for satellite plans for speeds and data caps ten less than what I get with GCI, and appreciate good internet access when I have it.
