High-speed digital subscriber line (DSL) service, an alternative to Nome’s cable modem service, will be available here beginning September 7, according to TelAlaska president and CEO Jack Rhyner. Rhyner met with Nome customers in June and said his company is responding to their requests for more choice in both Internet technology and quality of service.

“I believe we can’t help but improve their Internet experience, simple because of how we operate and manage our networks,” Rhyner said. “We have been providing
communications technology to rural Alaska for almost 40 years. I believe no company does it better or with our level of commitment or concern for the customer.”

TelAlaska owns Mukluk Telephone Company, which provides Nome’s local telephone service. The company also provides Internet service in more than a half dozen Alaska communities, cable modem high-speed Internet in Dutch Harbor, and DSL high-speed Internet in Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, Girdwood, Seward, Moose Pass, Sand Point, Cold Bay, and King Cove.

The company will offer two types of DSL service in Nome, basic and managed. Basic service ranges in price from a Light $19.95 option for the occasional user, to Business Right, a higher-speed package at $89.95 per month. Managed service, intended mostly for business users, is priced from $187 per month for 128K to $540 per month for 512K.

DSL service is always-on, which means customers don’t need to dial in and wait to retrieve e-mails and surf the web.

Information is available by phone at 443-5466 or at TelAlaska offices in the Old Federal Building on Front Street.

TelAlaska’s NetWorks division has provided advanced data services throughout Alaska since 1998. TelAlaska was founded by the Rhyner family in 1968. The company purchased the Nome telephone company in 2000 and has been upgrading the network to prepare for advanced service offerings, Rhyner said.
