How to Make the Move to Streaming with GCI

GCI is a trusted provider of Internet, mobile phone, smart home, and television services across 5 states, with their most expansive coverage across Alaska. One of GCI’s latest offerings, Yukon TV, is described by GCI as “Alaska’s ultimate streaming experience,” providing an opportunity to “Ditch the cable box and discover a better way to watch TV.”

If you are already a GCI TV customer, they are currently offering a free trial period of Yukon TV if you make the switch. While AK Core TV is still available, GCI’s Plus and Total plans more than double and triple its channel offerings, respectively.

Currently only interested in GCI Internet? Let’s explore some of their popular plans…

GCI Internet Packages

GCI takes the term “high-speed Internet” seriously, with their entry level “GCI No Worries” plan offering up to 100 Mbps speeds. For all No Worries plans, subscribers will experience significantly reduced download speeds of just 10 Mbps once they have all used their full included data allowance for that billing period.

Let’s take a look at 4 available plans to help in determining which is the best fit for your needs and budget…

Fast Internet Plan

Simply put, slow Internet just isn’t on the table for GCI! While many providers’ mid-tier packages offer download speeds of up to 100 Mbps, for GCI’s No Worries plans, this is just the beginning. SmartMove recommends this plan for 1-2 person households with average bandwidth needs.

Faster Internet Plan

Many consider Internet plans with 200 - 300 Mbps speeds to be the “sweet spot” for 2-4 person households, meeting their Internet needs the majority of the time, with few or no hiccups in connectivity even when simultaneously streaming 4K video, playing online games, and more.
