Internet providers in North Dakota

As with many of the mid-western states, North Dakota has a lot of land and relatively few people. That generally translates to hit-or-miss internet coverage and speeds, but in the cities, at least, customers in North Dakota can find robust internet connections. Some “hometown” internet service providers offer 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) or better download speeds.

Fastest internet in North Dakota

The fastest internet connection possible will likely leave you most satisfied, as a fast connection means quicker results when downloading large files such as graphics. It also gives you the best streaming performance, with less (or no) buffering of movies and videos.  And, online gaming demands a fast connection to be effective.

Providers using cable and fiber may offer download speeds up to 1 Gbps, and Valley City has the fastest available internet, 2.5 Gbps from BEK.

Cheapest internet in North Dakota

Some internet users won’t have a need to stream video and may simply want to send and receive email and similar, non-data heavy uses. If that’s the case, an inexpensive plan may do the job. Northern Skies offers plans starting at $19.95/mo. You’ll want to look for unexpected charges, such as installation, which may be waived with a contract, or a fee to purchase a satellite dish or fixed wireless antenna.

  • Northern Skies: $19.95/mo.
  • Sparklight: $34.95/mo.
