Even though we are roaming off ACS, the service is great! I had a Samsung before and it didn't pick up anything. The LG phones pick up the best service. The 3G service is fast too.
ACS Wireless is the Alaska carrier that Verizon customers roam on. Cellular service for Verizon customers is poor to no reception particularly at the hospital.
A brand new cell site, like the other one mentioned. AT&T's service is stellar in Juneau. Perhaps this is a prelude to AT&T adding 3G service here! It has been rumored to be installed this fall. Well we're getting awfully close!
Definitely the best value is ACS Wireless, which Verizon users roam on whilst visiting Alaska. Should you be an ACS Wireless customer, you'll have excellent roaming in Canada at a very reasonable cost if you have purchased ACS's national plan. The same goes for 3G coverage with a wireless card. Very reasonable roaming plan in Canada just next door.
AT&T has major downsides in my estimation due to its lack of 3G coverage outside of major urban areas such as Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley. What can one expect from a major carrier anyway?
AT&T has arguably the best reception in Juneau. ACS comes in a close second with a few dead spots which have been noted heretofore. ACS is also lacking at the University of Alaska Auke Lake campus. Reception in the building is abysmal as is reception at the student housing North northeast of campus.
ACS Wireless reception, Verizon roams on this Alaska carrier, is virtually non-existent in this area. Don't bother trying to use this carrier in the hospital or in any of the outlying building in the vicinity. Horrible dead spot in this area.
Verizon roams on ACS Wireless in Alaska. Just dropped by the ACS Wireless store, mentioned this web site. They then proceed to tell me that cell coverage at Auke Bay Ferry terminal is greatly improved. So, negate my previous remarks regarding Auke Bay.
