Bristol Bay Telephone Cooperative

Alaska Bristol Bay co-op. Sole carrier for many bush villages. Pricing reflects what it costs to operate at the end of the satellite link — and that's an honest cost.

Returning your equipment

Accepted return methods: mail-to-carrier-hq · ups-store-prepaid-label

You must return: Carrier-rented gateway/router/ONT, Set-top boxes (if any), Remotes

Common mistake: Call the carrier first to get a prepaid label, then drop the equipment at any UPS Store with the label. Keep the tracking receipt — UPS dropoff is the safest paper trail.

Confirmed company-operated stores that can sign up service AND accept equipment returns. Authorized-retailer addresses are tagged separately because they cannot always handle returns.
