The latest in 4G cell phones from AT&T, Verizon, Alaska Communications and more.
When ultra fast download speeds and the latest in cellular technology arrive in Alaska, the demand is expected to exceed supply and the first customers through the doors will be the winners. The next question will be, How fast is 4G in Alaska? This we are soon to find out.
Alaska Cellular Service
Looking for reliable cell service in Alaska? It’s available and it’s not that different then the services in other parts of the country. The big hitters are all here, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T Mobile, Sprint as well as GCI Wireless and plenty of smaller networks with service agreements with other networks to allow you access when in Alaska.
AT&T Wireless is installing new equipment and updating old in anticipation of tough competition from competitors over cell coverage areas and download speeds.
Verizon Wireless will be directly competing with AT&T by offering ultra fast wireless combined with the most popular cell phone ever built, the iPhone from Apple.
When will you offer 4g Service in Soldotna, AK.?
This is yet to be seen. My guess is that Verizon will b e the first to offer it as they seem to be striving to take a dominate position all around the country, including Alaska. We are using the Verizon wireless network on our laptops and found it to offer a broader coverage then we currently see with out AT&T Iphones.
I did get the chance to try the new 4G services in the lower 48 and I will have to say, it’s really fast, faster then our DSL service here on the Kenai. When it does arrive you can expect a major boost in speed from Verizon’s new 4G network.
