Rural Internet in Montgomery County, New York
High-speed internet for Montgomery County 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 2,600 homes in rural Montgomery County have no wired internet at all — no cable, no fiber, and no phone-line service fast enough to count as broadband. That is 25% of the 10,567 rural homes in the county, according to the FCC’s own coverage data as of December 2025, and it ranks 20th out of the 62 counties in New York. That is far worse than New York as a whole, where 9% of rural homes go without. However, Country Broadband services those addresses. Plans start at $39.99 a month, 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.

Why we can serve Montgomery County when others cannot
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.
If you can get fiber, get fiber
Where a fiber or cable company genuinely serves your street, that is normally the faster and cheaper buy and we will tell you so on the phone.
Unlimited means unlimited
No data cap, no overage charge, no surprise bill after a heavy month. 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.
Internet in Montgomery County — questions, answered
Can I get internet in Montgomery County, New York?
Yes. Country Broadband serves rural addresses throughout Montgomery County, New York. That matters here because about a quarter of the 10,567 rural homes in the county — about 2,600 of them — have no wired internet at all that meets the federal 100 Mbps standard, according to the FCC's coverage data as of December 2025. Coverage is confirmed address by address rather than by ZIP code, so call 800-692-9907 with the street address and you get a straight yes or no in a couple of minutes.
How does Country Broadband deliver internet in Montgomery County, New York?
In Montgomery County, New York, 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.
Why is internet so bad in Montgomery County, New York?
Cable and fiber companies build where the houses are close together, because the cost of running line is the same whether it passes four homes to the mile or forty. In Montgomery County, New York that left 25% of rural homes with no wired option. That is far worse than New York as a whole, where 9% of rural homes go without. The phone company's older line, where it still runs, rarely clears the speeds a household needs today. None of that is anybody local's doing — it is arithmetic, and it is why a provider that is not tied to one delivery method can serve people the big carriers cannot.
How much does internet cost in Montgomery County, New York?
The same as everywhere else Country Broadband serves — there is no rural surcharge and no county-specific pricing. Budget Lite is $39.99 a month for about 25 Mbps, with equipment either leased at $9.99 a month or bought once for $199. Select Essential is $69.99 a month plus a $15 monthly equipment lease for 50 to 80 Mbps. Elite Unleashed is $99.99 a month plus the $15 lease for 150 to 200 Mbps with no contract. Activation is a one-time $50 on the first two plans and $99 on Elite Unleashed. Every plan includes unlimited data and free professional installation.
Is there unlimited internet in Montgomery County, New York with no data cap?
Yes. Every Country Broadband plan sold in Montgomery County, New York includes unlimited data with no overage charges, ever. On the Select Essential plan the first 150 GB each month is priority 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. Elite Unleashed is priority data all month long.
How soon can it be installed in Montgomery County, New York?
Installation 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 choose the day and the arrival window when you order.
