Why Minnesota performs this way

Minnesota performs better than the United States average because its cells are generally less crowded and Starlink has more room to deliver peak throughput. Large rural coverage zones and moderate demand give Minnesota fast, stable Starlink results. The biggest driver is usually subscriber density rather than raw geography, especially in markets where rural demand is spread across wide cells. Relative to the national reference point of 184 Mbps down, 22 Mbps up, and 38 ms ping, Minnesota is a useful benchmark for how local density and terrain affect real household performance in 2026.
