Ask HN: Remote Working from rural Alaska?

2 pointsby igoldenover 6 years ago
Just wondering if anyone on here works full time remote from Alaska (specifically outside of anchorage). I&#x27;ve been researching a possible relocation and the biggest issue for me seems to be internet.<p>I rely on video chat throughout the day, and I&#x27;m worried I&#x27;ll lose that if I move to a small town in AK. Anyone out there doing this successfully?<p>Thanks all

I don&#x27;t have an answer for your question, but I hope someone does. That is one place I have considered retirement. My only apprehension is regarding internet speed. From what I have read, it get&#x27;s really bad very quickly as you get further away from the city.

I was in anchorage last year for work. My experience in the city was internet was similar to at home. I suppose it depends upon the provider in the small town.<p>I would suggest contacting the cable&#x2F;phone company in that area and asking for tech specs.
