Rural Internet in Mississippi
High-speed internet for Mississippi homes and businesses beyond the reach of cable and fiber. Unlimited data on every plan, free professional installation, and a U.S. team on the phone from 9am to 9pm Central, seven days a week.
The short answer
About 190,000 homes in rural Mississippi have no wired internet at all — no cable, no fiber, and no phone-line service fast enough to count as broadband. That is 22% of every rural home in the state, according to the FCC’s own coverage data as of December 2025. However, Country Broadband services those addresses. Plans start at $39.99 a month for up to 150 Mbps and run to $109.99 a month for up to 200 Mbps, for the first 12 months, plus a $15 monthly equipment lease. Every plan includes unlimited data with no overage charges, and professional installation is free. Because we deliver over a combination of fiber and wireless connections rather than being locked into one, we can serve addresses that single-technology providers have to turn down. Coverage is confirmed address by address — call 800-692-9907 or check your address online.

Straight talk about your options in Mississippi
If you can get fiber, get fiber
Where a fiber or cable company actually serves your street in Mississippi, that is normally the faster and cheaper buy and we will tell you so. We are not trying to win an argument you should not be having.
22% of rural MS does not have that choice
Outside the towns, the build-out stopped. What is left is an old phone line that will not clear modern speeds, or nothing. That is the address we serve.
Fiber and wireless, whichever reaches you
We are not locked into one way of delivering service. Some addresses get fiber; the rest are served wirelessly, with no cable run to the property. A provider with only one of those can only sell where it built. We can reach a lot of homes they cannot.
Unlimited means unlimited
No data cap, no overage charge, no surprise bill at the end of a month with a lot of streaming in it. That is true on every plan we sell.
A person answers the phone
Call 800-692-9907 between 9am and 9pm Central, any day of the week and you reach a U.S. support team, not a menu that dead-ends. Rural customers get treated like the whole business depends on them, because it does.
Mississippi rural internet questions, answered
What internet options are there in rural Mississippi?
In rural Mississippi the honest list is short. If a street has cable or fiber, that is usually the best buy and worth taking. But about a quarter of the homes in rural Mississippi — about 190,000 of them — have no wired internet at all that meets the federal 100 Mbps standard, according to the FCC's own coverage data as of December 2025. That is who Country Broadband is for. We sell to those addresses across Mississippi, with unlimited data on every plan, free professional installation, and plans from $39.99 a month. Call 800-692-9907 and we will tell you in a couple of minutes whether we can reach your address.
How does Country Broadband deliver internet in Mississippi?
In Mississippi, as everywhere we serve, Country Broadband delivers over a combination of fiber and wireless connections, and which one reaches a particular property depends on that address. That is why we can serve homes here that other providers turn away: a company built around a single technology can only sell where that technology was built. Call 800-692-9907 with your address and we will tell you what is available there, what it costs and when it can be installed.
Which parts of Mississippi have the worst internet?
By the FCC's count, the counties of Mississippi with the most homes lacking any wired option are Scott County, Simpson County, Copiah County, Neshoba County and Leake County. Scott County alone has about 10,700 rural homes with no cable, fiber or phone-line internet fast enough to count as broadband. Country Broadband serves all of them, and the rest of rural Mississippi besides — coverage is confirmed address by address.
Does Country Broadband serve Mississippi?
Yes. Country Broadband serves homes and businesses across Mississippi, including the rural counties where cable and fiber were never built. Coverage is checked address by address, not by ZIP code, because two houses on the same rural road can get different answers. You can check yours at https://www.countrybroadband.net/home-or-business or by calling 800-692-9907.
How much does rural internet cost in Mississippi?
Country Broadband pricing is the same everywhere in Mississippi — there is no rural surcharge. Essentials is $39.99 a month for the first 12 months, then $69.99, plus a $15 monthly equipment lease, for up to 150 Mbps on a 24-month agreement. Unleashed is $69.99 a month for the first 12 months, then $99.99, plus the $15 lease, for up to 180 Mbps with no contract. Unleashed Max is $109.99 a month for the first 12 months, then $179.99, plus the lease, for up to 200 Mbps with no contract. Activation is a one-time $50 on Essentials and $99 on Unleashed and Unleashed Max. Every plan includes unlimited data and free professional installation.
Is there internet in Mississippi with no data cap?
Every Country Broadband plan sold in Mississippi includes unlimited data and there are no overage charges on any plan, ever. On the Essentials plan the first 150 GB each month is high-speed data and the rest is standard data, which can slow down when the network is busy — but it never stops and it never costs extra. Unleashed and Unleashed Max are unlimited high-speed data, and Unleashed Max gets priority when the network is busy.
Can I get internet in Mississippi if my address shows as unavailable everywhere else?
That is the normal starting point for a Country Broadband customer. About 190,000 rural homes in Mississippi are in exactly that position, and the big carriers' availability checkers are built around their own build-out maps, which stop outside town. We can serve the large majority of Mississippi addresses, including ones with no cable, no fiber and no usable phone-line service. Call 800-692-9907 with the address and you will get a straight yes or no.
How fast can Country Broadband install service in Mississippi?
Installation across Mississippi is usually scheduled within about a week of the order, and professional installation is free on every plan. A technician comes to the property, sets the equipment up, gets the connection running and does not leave until it works. You pick the day and the arrival window when you order.
Does Country Broadband work for a farm or a shop in rural Mississippi?
Yes, and there are two business plans for it. Business Backup is 50 to 100 Mbps at $49.99 a month plus a $15 monthly equipment lease. Business Choice is 100 to 200 Mbps at $99.99 a month plus the same lease. Both carry a 12-month agreement and a one-time $150 activation. Farms, shops, offices and job sites across Mississippi run on them, including for card readers, cameras and remote monitoring.
Can I keep my phone number and get home phone service too in Mississippi?
Yes. Country Broadband Voice runs over your Country Broadband connection at $25 a month for the first three months and $35 a month after that, with unlimited calling across the U.S. and Canada, voicemail, caller ID and call waiting. In most cases you keep your existing Mississippi number. Calls do not count against your internet data.
