Nothing to buy
Your installation, cable boxes, and everything you need are all part of the package with GCI.  With Satellite, you have to spend hundreds in startup and installation costs.  And if there's a problem with GCI, we'll fix it for free!  Unlike Satellite who will charge you for every trip to your home.

Broadband Internet
GCI Cable hooks you to the best Internet connection around.  With the fastest speeds and the lowest prices.  And GCI high speed Internet starts at just $10 a month*.

The Definition of High Definition
If you want your HDTV to look its very best, GCI's high def signal is brighter and crisper, because it's not compressed like the Dish.

Weather?  No problem
A dish works best on a perfectly clear day, when there's no snow, rain, wind, trees or swarms of mosquitoes to interfere with your signal.  Last year, there were two days like that in Alaska.

Your neighbors will thank you
Big, ugly dishes surrounded by clear-cut trees rank right up there with rusty old refrigerators and washing machines for attractive yard decor.
