Why North Dakota performs this way

North Dakota performs better than the United States average because its cells are generally less crowded and Starlink has more room to deliver peak throughput. Extremely light population density and wide-open terrain make North Dakota a strong Starlink state. 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, North Dakota is a useful benchmark for how local density and terrain affect real household performance in 2026.
