Wyoming has fewer people than Milwaukee, spread across a state you can drive for two hours without passing a gas station. You would expect its internet to be an afterthought. Inside the towns, it is the opposite: Cheyenne, Casper and Laramie each have fiber on more than eight in ten streets, a better showing than Seattle.[1] The hard part is everything between the towns, where a ranch relies on a satellite dish, an antenna on a windmill, or one tower on the horizon.
Our pick for most Wyoming homes is Spectrum. It is one of only three providers that reach most of the state, and the one that delivers a wired cable line everywhere it goes; we rank on reach first and technology second, and cable sits behind fiber but ahead of wireless. Visionary Communications reaches slightly more addresses, but we could not confirm its technology, and CenturyLink's lines outside its fiber zones are older copper. If fiber is on your street, take it.
Which internet providers cover most of Wyoming?
At 100/20 Mbps, cable reaches a bit under two-thirds of Wyoming locations, fiber about half, and licensed fixed wireless close to six in ten, an unusually high 5G share for a rural state.[1] Unlicensed fixed wireless, the kind a local company runs from a butte, reaches more than half as well.
| Provider | Type | Where it's available | Contract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visionary Communications | Regional provider | Across most of Wyoming | Not stated |
| CenturyLink | Fiber in some areas, older copper elsewhere | Across most of Wyoming | No annual contract[2] |
| Spectrum | Cable | Across most of Wyoming | Not stated |
| T-Mobile 5G Home Internet | 5G fixed wireless | In many areas | No annual contract[3] |
| Verizon 5G Home Internet | 5G fixed wireless | In many areas | No annual contract[4] |
| AT&T Internet Air | 5G fixed wireless | In many areas | No annual contract[5] |
| Rise Broadband | Fixed wireless | In some areas | No contracts[6] |
Spectrum's standard plan prices were not retrievable; the one tier we can confirm is Spectrum Internet Assist at $25 a month for qualifying households, with no contracts or data caps on that program.[7] CenturyLink Fiber up to 500 Mbps is $50 a month where available, with no annual contract and unlimited data; its copper Internet Service tops out at 140 Mbps.[2] Rise Broadband's Family plan, up to 150 Mbps, is $29.99 a month with the AutoPay discount, unlimited data and no contract.[6] Mountain West Technologies and Clarity Telecom each reach many areas; Wyoming.Com, All West, Range Telephone Cooperative and others reach some. Starlink, Hughesnet and Viasat are available almost everywhere; Starlink starts at $55 a month with unlimited data.[8]
What is the best internet in Cheyenne, Casper and Laramie?
Cheyenne is a fiber city, with fiber on more than eight in ten streets and Spectrum cable on more than nine in ten.[1] Visionary, CenturyLink and Mountain West are all present. Look for fiber first.
Casper matches Cheyenne on fiber and adds better 5G coverage, with T-Mobile reaching about eight in ten homes. Providers in Casper include Spectrum, CenturyLink, Visionary and Mountain West.
Laramie has fiber on more than eight in ten streets, Spectrum cable, and 5G on nearly every block, which suits a university town where leases turn over every August. Clarity Telecom and LARIAT also serve it.
Gillette is split: fiber on about half the streets, Spectrum cable on most, and 5G on essentially every address, with Collins Communications as the local name. Sheridan is a fiber town with Visionary, Spectrum and full 5G coverage. Rock Springs is the outlier, a cable-first city where fiber reaches fewer than a quarter of homes and Spectrum does not appear; All West, LR Communications, Wyoming.Com and Visionary serve it instead.
Is 5G home internet a good choice in Wyoming?
More often than in most states. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps reaches close to six in ten Wyoming locations, more than fiber does, and in Gillette, Sheridan and Laramie it covers nearly everyone.[1] T-Mobile's Rely plan is $50 a month with AutoPay, unlimited data and no annual contract.[3] Verizon 5G Home is $35 a month with a Verizon phone plan and no annual contract.[4] AT&T has no wireline network in Wyoming; its only product is AT&T Internet Air, with unlimited data and no annual contract.[5]
The catch is the same as everywhere on the high plains: the signal is tied to the nearest tower, and between towns there may be one. In the Big Horn Basin, a local antenna aimed at a hilltop often beats a 5G gateway that sees one bar.
What works on a ranch outside town?
Check the FCC map for the exact address, then call the local fixed-wireless companies before the national ones. Wyoming's small operators have been putting antennas on ridgelines for twenty years, and several co-op telephone companies have run fiber to places that would never pencil out for a national carrier.
If nothing wired or wireless reaches you, Starlink's residential plan at $55 a month with unlimited data is the modern satellite choice.[8] Keep the dish clear of snow in January.
What should I ask before I sign up?
- What is the rate after the promotion? Ask Spectrum directly, since its standard prices were not available.[7]
- Is the CenturyLink line at my address fiber or copper? Fiber is $50 for up to 500 Mbps; copper tops out at 140 Mbps.[2]
- Is there a contract? CenturyLink, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Rise all say no.[2][3][4][5][6]
- Is data unlimited? Yes on CenturyLink, T-Mobile, AT&T Internet Air and Rise.[2][3][5][6]
- What are the equipment and install fees, and for fixed wireless, which tower will serve me?
