GCI Customers In Sitka, Alaska to Lose Service for Days Amid Fiber Maintenance

WASHINGTON, March 6, 2025 – Thousands of GCI customers in Sitka, Alaska, will lose most internet services starting Sunday because the company may need repair to its undersea fiber network, according to a statement on its website.

The company said it will provide alternate, third-party connectivity for low-bandwidth services via satellite and radio wave during the 8-day maintenance period. 

“Home internet service will be available in a very limited capacity and will only support very low bandwidth activities like email. Basic mobile voice and text are expected to remain intact. Landline services will be available but delays in audio may be experienced,” the company said.
