As for internet service, their penetration is comparatively far less than mobile service. Barring few cities and towns, most villages and towns still don’t enjoy broadband and 3G internet service. Airtel, Vodafone
Reliance, Idea, Tata Docomo are leading providers of telecom services in Muzaffarpur.
