News Summary:
On June 25, 2026, GCI contributed $33,900 to the Haines Borough in Southeast Alaska, supporting improvements to local ball fields to ensure safe recreational spaces for the community and youth athletics. Previously, on June 16, GCI began utilizing Starlink's satellite broadband service for backup connectivity at several locations, expanding its use beyond reselling Starlink's traditional service to business customers. Also on June 16, GCI crews completed fiber repair, restoring full phone and internet service across the Aleutians after nearly three weeks of limited satellite-based backup. The outage began on May 27 when an undersea fiber cable was damaged, disrupting service in communities including Akutan, False Pass, King Cove, Perryville, Sand Point, and Unalaska. This followed GCI's partnership announcement on June 11 with Starlink, through which it plans to use bonded gateways to bring reliable internet connections to thousands of Alaskans in major community hubs such as Bethel, Sitka, Kotzebue, and Dillingham.
