The Montana Cord-Cutting Movement Is Real
The Montana cord-cutting trend is accelerating. Over 3.2 million MT households have already cut the cable cord, and the pace is picking up every quarter. For Billings residents and the rest of Montana, the math is simple: traditional MT cable bills now average $129 per month, while IPTV delivers 20,000+ live channels plus 80,000+ VOD titles starting at just $7.99 per month.
Several factors specific to Montana are driving this transition:
- Cable inflation in Montana: Major MT providers (Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, DirecTV, AT&T) have raised rates an average of 28% since 2022 — well above the national inflation rate
- Montana internet speed: With MT average fixed broadband now exceeding 220 Mbps, every Montana household has more than enough bandwidth for buffer-free 4K streaming
- More channels than cable: IPTV gives Montana viewers 20,000+ live channels vs. the typical 200-500 on a MT cable package — plus all the Montana local channels viewers want
- MT sports without extra fees: Every regional sports network, NFL Sunday Ticket equivalent, NBA League Pass, and PPV event is included in one IPTV subscription
- No contracts, no equipment rentals: Month-to-month pricing with no $15/mo cable box rental and no 2-year lock-in — Montana residents stay in control
