Best Internet Providers in Rugby, ND

T-Mobile shines as a leading internet service provider in Rugby, North Dakota, with its 5G Home Internet, offering download speeds from 33 to 245 Mbps. Covering 56% of the city, it's a viable option for over half the residents. Plus, with plans starting at just $50 a month, it delivers great value for its speed and extensive coverage areas.

In a similar vein, both Hughesnet and Starlink also provide strong Internet alternatives. On one hand, Hughesnet serves up a steady satellite connection across all of Rugby. Despite maxing out at a download speed of 25 Mbps, which is lower than T-Mobile, it's a dependable internet option, particularly in areas where other connections are few and far between. Priced from $49.99 a month, it offers budget-friendly rates and reliability.

On the other hand, the satellite provider Starlink matches Hughesnet's full coverage of Rugby and elevates it with a faster maximum download speed of 220 Mbps. This enables better streaming and gaming experiences. Starting at $90 a month, Starlink's plans may be pricier than its counterparts, but the extensive coverage and speed capabilities could justify the extra cost for some customers.
