Find internet providers in Billings, MT
Find internet offered in Billings, MT – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Billings, MT, your best bet is CenturyLink, covering ~83% of the city; its FCC-filed speeds go up to 1,000 Mbps, but the 1000/1000 Mbps fiber tier reaches ~2% of the city. However, if Nemont is available at your address, it can be the better, faster pick, offering speeds up to 1,000 Mbps where its network reaches, while covering ~14% of the city overall. West End is a Spectrum stronghold at 74.2%, with cable speeds up to 1000/35 Mbps, though Ziply Fiber reaches 9.1% and TDS Telecom reaches 5.4% with fiber. South Side is more mixed, with Spectrum at 51.6%, TDS Telecom fiber at 10.6%, and Ziply Fiber fiber at 5.8%. Billings Heights flips the script, with TDS Telecom leading at 48.5% and offering fiber speeds up to 8000/8000 Mbps, while Spectrum covers 24.7%. Students at Montana State University Billings and Rocky Mountain College should check apartment-specific availability, since some buildings may still rely on older copper or DSL for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Verizon is a worthwhile fixed-wireless alternative, covering 51.0% citywide, while its 300/20 Mbps tier reaches 44%. Coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

Our recommendation for Billings
Satellite internet can cover everyday browsing and streaming, but its higher latency can make gaming and video calls less responsive than terrestrial connections. Starlink’s Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, with a Speed Score of 78/100 and 100.0% availability in Billings, about the same as the city average of 80. The 200 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans each score 55/100, so shoppers who prioritize low latency or stronger performance should check what other technologies reach their specific address.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad reach and can handle everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, but its higher latency can be a drawback for competitive gaming and other real-time uses. It is available to 100.0% of Billings, with plans from up to 100 Mbps for $55/mo to up to 400 Mbps for $130/mo, though it is worth checking for fiber or cable at your address first because those options are generally better for demanding modern internet use.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Billings
Nemont’s monthly value varies sharply by address: its fiber plan offers up to 1000↓/1000↑ Mbps with a 99/100 Speed Score, an excellent choice, but it is listed for only 1.0% of Billings. Nemont also offers licensed fixed wireless up to 100↓/100↑ Mbps with a 78/100 score, while its 30↓/5↑ Mbps copper plan scores 48/100, so technology availability and real-world performance can differ significantly by address. If fiber is unavailable and only the lower-scoring copper or fixed wireless plans are offered, consider checking other providers first.
About Nemont
Nemont’s value depends on what the monthly price quoted for your address buys, ranging from up to 1000 Mbps download and upload on fiber to up to 30 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload on copper. Check for the fiber option first, though it covers 1.0% of census blocks, or the up to 100 Mbps download and upload fixed wireless plan, which covers 7.8%; availability is address-dependent, and the slower copper and fixed wireless options may be insufficient for streaming, remote work, or several connected devices.

How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
