Rural Internet in Silver Bow County, Montana
High-speed internet for Silver Bow 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 1,500 homes in rural Silver Bow County have no wired internet at all — no cable, no fiber, and no phone-line service fast enough to count as broadband. That is 55% of the 2,788 rural homes in the county, according to the FCC’s own coverage data as of December 2025, and it ranks 23rd out of the 56 counties in Montana. That is worse than Montana as a whole, where 40% 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. Call 800-692-9907 or check your address online.

Why we can serve Silver Bow 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 Silver Bow County — questions, answered
Can I get internet in Silver Bow County, Montana?
Yes. Country Broadband serves rural addresses throughout Silver Bow County, Montana. That matters here because nearly half of the 2,788 rural homes in the county — about 1,500 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 Silver Bow County, Montana?
In Silver Bow County, Montana, 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 Silver Bow County, Montana?
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 Silver Bow County, Montana that left 55% of rural homes with no wired option. That is worse than Montana as a whole, where 40% 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 Silver Bow County, Montana?
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 Silver Bow County, Montana with no data cap?
Yes. Every Country Broadband plan sold in Silver Bow County, Montana 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 Silver Bow County, Montana?
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.
Does Country Broadband work for a farm or business in Silver Bow County, Montana?
Yes. 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.

Do you serve Butte-Silver Bow and Walkerville?
Yes — Country Broadband serves rural addresses throughout Silver Bow County, Montana, including around Butte-Silver Bow and Walkerville. What we cannot tell you from the town name alone is whether your particular street is already reached by cable or fiber, because that changes house by house. Give us the street address on 800-692-9907 and you get a straight answer in a couple of minutes.
What ZIP codes does Country Broadband cover in Silver Bow County, Montana?

Country Broadband services rural addresses across all of them — but a ZIP code is not how service actually gets decided.

What if I already have service but it is too slow?
Worth a call. A lot of rural households in Silver Bow County, Montana are on an older connection that was the only option when they signed up and has been overtaken since.
