Wireless Internet providers in Montana face challenges that are unique to that area of the country. Montana's population is less dense than many other states. The dispersal of the population and other geographical issues can make it difficult for wireless Internet providers to enter the Montana market profitably. If you own a business in Montana, you will find fewer options for wireless service but will still have access to some of the major carriers.

The 3G wireless network operated by Verizon Wireless is one of the most reliable options for wireless Internet service in Montana cities and small towns. Verizon Wireless has the widest coverage area and claims to have the best customer service. AT&T Wireless is another option. It deploys a 3G wireless network based on the EVDO protocol that the company claims delivers the fastest speeds. T-Mobile is another of the major wireless Internet providers in Montana. It has a 4G network, which is theoretically faster than a 3G network.

Cricket Wireless is part of a small group of local wireless Internet providers in Montana. It is the discount provider for people who want a lower price point for service and do not want to sign a contract or undergo a credit check.
