Internet Providers in Minot, ND
Compare every internet provider in Minot, ND: coverage from FCC filings, plan prices checked monthly, and an address check for your street.
The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedSRT is the best overall, with fiber speeds up to 2,000/2,000 Mbps reaching about 55% of Minot. No second pick qualifies, so SRT is the clear choice, then the address-level details decide what you can actually order. In Oak Park, SRT leads with fiber reaching about 69% at up to 2,000/2,000 Mbps, while Reservation Telephone Cooperative covers about 8% with up to 1,000/1,000 Mbps fiber.
ZIP 58702 is especially straightforward, with SRT reaching the entire ZIP at up to 2,000/2,000 Mbps. ZIP 58703 is also strongly SRT territory, reaching about 82% at that top fiber tier, while the remaining local options are much smaller; Eastwood Park, North Hill, and Bel Air can still vary by block. For Minot State University students, check apartment wiring carefully, since some buildings may rely on older copper or DSL infrastructure, and reliable service matters for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Fixed wireless from Verizon or T-Mobile is worth checking as a budget-oriented option, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address before signing up.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Minot
For households that need fast, low-latency internet, SRT’s fiber plan is a top-tier option, offering up to 2000 Mbps download and upload with a 94/100 Speed Score across about 55% of Minot. Fiber availability varies by address, so homes outside that footprint may receive a different technology and should check which option is available before choosing SRT.
Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.
About SRT
SRT is a strong fit for households that work from home, stream, game, or have several connected devices, thanks to its fiber plans with up to 2000 Mbps both ways and up to 1000 Mbps both ways. Fiber availability is address-dependent, reaching about 55% of census blocks for the 2000 Mbps plan and about 27% for the 1000 Mbps plan, while the fallback copper option reaches only about 0% and offers up to 10 Mbps, which may not be sufficient for modern needs, so check your address for fiber first.

Our recommendation for Minot
Households that stream, work from home, and connect several devices can find a good fit with T-Mobile’s fixed wireless service, offering up to 500 Mbps download, 60 Mbps upload, and a Speed Score of 75/100, above Minot’s city average of 55. Fixed wireless performance can be more variable than wired service, and the 500 Mbps plans are available to about 41% of Minot, so address eligibility matters. At an eligible address, T-Mobile is a competitive option for everyday home internet, though households needing the most consistent low-latency performance should compare the technologies available at their specific address.

About T-Mobile
T-Mobile is a good fit for households that want solid everyday internet, with fixed wireless plans offering up to 500 Mbps download and 60 Mbps upload, plus a 75/100 Speed Score. The service is available to about 41% of Minot for these plans, so check your address first, since fixed wireless can be adequate but less consistent than cable or fiber for heavy streaming, gaming, or multiple users.

About HughesNet
At $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, HughesNet offers up to 25, 50, or 100 Mbps download speeds, but you are paying satellite prices for performance that is below average. All three plans reach 100.0% of Minot, making HughesNet a widely available fallback, but satellite latency can affect streaming, gaming, and video calls, so check your address for faster fiber or cable service first.

How We Analyze Internet in Minot
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Minot report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Minot
How We Calculate Speed Score
The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?
What goes in:
- The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
- Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.
Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed
A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.
What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.
How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.
Data source: FCC National Broadband Map (Broadband Data Collection), republished roughly twice a year; provider plan lists checked monthly.
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.
