Montana has been slowly updating their internet speeds.

Internet in Montana

We could do better.

Montana is the 4th largest state by land mass and one of the least populous places in the United States.

Montana's towns and folks are all over the state. Many of Montana's towns consist of hundreds or tens of people.

Due to Montana being very rural, technology updates have been slow.

Internet speed in Montana has been lacking for years.

Some cities have limited fiber internet options, and you might have trouble finding a provider if you live outside those areas.

Broadband Now reports that Montana has some of the worst internet speeds in America.

Spectrum has been slowly adding fiber options to cities in Montana, and many locals have been trying Starlink as an alternative for rural areas.

Things have been getting better, but it's a slow process.

Well, some help might be on the way.

Montana Fiber services areas like Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish, and Bigfork, but this move could benefit the entire state.

Montana Fiber offers fast fiber internet to residents and businesses in the Flathead Valley, and customers love their service.

With Vero Fiber buying out Montana Fiber, we could see them expand quickly in Western Montana.

The company could soon offer services to Missoula, Polson, and towns in the Bitterroot Valley.

If that succeeds, we could see further expansion into Eastern Montana.

Montanans have demanded more internet options for years, and now we could have more competition for consumers.

We can't wait to see the future of Vero Fiber in Montana.
