The internet is essential for modern-day learning, which is why having a reliable connection—both inside and outside of the classroom— is more crucial than ever before for student success.
At MTA, we want to foster a well-connected education system in Southcentral Alaska, ensuring no student is left behind and everyone can pursue a higher education. Our education solutions offer the speed and reliability necessary for uninterrupted operations at educational facilities.

Internet Services We Provide to Schools
Having to share bandwidth with neighboring businesses can cause network congestion that slows down productivity for students and teachers. At MTA, we offer internet network services through a dedicated line, also known as a digital subscriber line (DSL), that is yours and yours alone.
Your internet connection is exclusive to your location, eliminating any concerns about sharing bandwidth with neighboring businesses while also being able to support multiple users and devices throughout the day.
Our business internet plan is tailored to meet the unique business needs of educational administrations. We are also proud to offer fiber internet connections in select areas for even faster and more reliable connectivity.
Alaska’s Educational System Deserves Better Internet Access
Currently, school districts in Alaska may be limited to speeds of only 25 Mbps, slow enough that it no longer qualifies as “broadband” under a new definition published by the Federal Communications Commission.
The digital divide is even worse in homes. Across Alaska, about 31% of students don't have adequate high-speed internet connections at home, and about 19% don't have devices.
When there is no access to the internet at home or in the classroom, some children are unable to complete their studies and progress at the same rate as their peers across America.
Reliable internet is essential not only for educational learning environments but also for Alaskan residents to be connected to school via videoconferencing (learn more about our residential services here).
As a premier internet service provider (ISP), it is our initiative to connect people in order for them to have full access to education, jobs, and other opportunities. We understand the importance of hassle-free Wi-Fi for busy school administrations, their IT departments, and residents of Alaska.
Our commitment to providing 24/7 support means that your teachers can focus on education without worrying about connectivity issues.
