How to choose internet in Montana

Montana has very different markets, with far-flung cities divided by large rural areas. This means that not all internet connections are available to every address.

Urban vs. rural needs

Outside an urban area, which often offers all available internet types, rural options are typically limited to satellite and 5G fixed wireless. Those connections can be slower than what is available in a city, typically under 400 Mbps.

Speed needs for households vs. remote work

Most households can stream, game or run smart devices on around 500 Mbps. If you are working or learning from home with other users in the house, you may need a higher-speed plan, closer to 1 gig.

Montana internet statistics

Compare Montana’s median download and upload speeds with the U.S. median download and upload speeds. Montana is behind the U.S. average download speed, with upload speeds also lagging.

	Download	Upload
Montana	227.72 Mbps	25.68 Mbps
U.S.	305.51 Mbps	56.78 Mbps

Find Montana internet providers by city

The Big Sky state is known for its wide-open spaces. Although it is the fourth-largest state by area, with 1.1 million people, it is the eighth least populous state in the country. Billings, its most populous city, only has about 110,000 people.

While this is great for people who like to get away from the crowd, it reduces the number of internet options. Most of the internet service providers are either wireless or satellite. But it’s still possible to get the fastest download speed of 940 Mbps.

Explore internet availability and speed in various Montana cities below. We’ve included each city’s median download speed from Ookla’s Speedtest.net, the percentage of households in each city with access to at least 100 Mbps, 250 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps and the number of providers available in each city.

City	Download speed	Upload speed	% available up to 100 Mbps	% available up to 250 Mbps	% available up to 1 Gig	# of providers

I am very satisfied with Hughesnet Service. I switched to this about 5 weeks ago. I have lost service twice and both times it was snowing and extremely cold and windy. Service was off for about 2 hours. I am saving almost 200.00 per month by switching. I am still figuring out the channels and how to get there. I am having fun seeing so many different shows I never had access to.
