AS7782 ALSK-7782

ALSK-7782 is Alaska Communications Systems (ACS), the incumbent local exchange

carrier for much of Alaska, headquartered in Anchorage.

What it's used for

• Consumer and business broadband across Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and the Kenai Peninsula, plus enterprise and government connectivity statewide.
• Reverse DNS across the announced space is dominated by ACS subscriber patterns: IP-ADDR.static.acsalaska.net, IP-ADDR.dynamic.acsalaska.net and IP-ADDR.dynamic.lte.acsalaska.net — the last reflecting the fibre-fed fixed wireless service ACS has been deploying to homes and businesses.

Notable

• This is a genuine eyeball network, unlike [AS7774](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS7774), whose ALASKA handle belongs to the state university system.
• Alongside subscriber pools, the space carries Alaskan public-sector customers (municipal and library rDNS appears inside ACS prefixes), so not every host here is residential.

Interesting

• ACS is majority-owned by ATN International, with co-investors holding the rest. Its build is heavily subsidised by federal universal-service programmes, which is what makes broadband economics work across Alaska's distances.
