A partnership between Quintillion and Arctic Slope Telephone Association Cooperative (ASTAC) is bringing 25/3 Mbps broadband service to Utqiagvik, Alaska, the northernmost point in the US. Since January 2018, ASTAC has installed over 62 miles of fiber networks connecting almost 2,200 locations to fiber, while Quintillion has laid over 1,600 miles of cable off the Alaskan Coast and down the Dalton Highway. According to ASTAC, 85% of North Slope residences now have an end-to-end fiber-optic broadband connection when coupled with Quintillion’s subsea fiber optic cable network.

"but 25/3?"] Customers can take advantage of a suspend feature to pause and restart their data usage throughout the billing cycle to self-manage their usage. The Home Internet 25+ plan is $75 less per month than an existing internet plan.
