I live 7 miles north of Seward, and have a cable modem rated at 500kb/s. Faster speeds are available if you want to pay for them, but I'm happy with it...it's "good enough". There are a couple of providers here to choose from. DSL is available in the city and immediate area. I seldom have a problem with connectivity issues, unless it's my own fault with the equipment in my house. Down time and power outages are common in the winter months due to severe weather from time to time, but you'll find that anywhere in Alaska, not just Seward. I have not had any problem with service issues. For those living too far from the cable grid or phone lines one can always go with Hughes Net satellite internet. (common in the villages or with off-grid locations)
All in all, I have no real complaints about the internet service in Seward...it's not a problem.
