At BroadbandNow, we advocate for a definition of broadband internet to be at least 100 Mbps, as opposed to the FCC definition of 25 Mbps, which would be considered slow for many internet-intensive activities.
In Minnesota, 86.8% of households have access to 1 Gbps wired or fixed wireless broadband, ranking 26th among all states.
2026 Minnesota Broadband Market Analysis
Minnesota ranks #29 nationwide (rising 11 spots from 2025) in BroadbandNow’s 2026 Best and Worst States for Broadband report, earning an overall grade of C+ (Score: 78.82/100). The state’s standing is anchored by fundamental prerequisite connectivity, with 94.7% of residents having access to basic wired or fixed wireless broadband and 79.9% covered by affordable low-priced plans. Physical network architecture across the state features a 54.2% fiber-optic availability rate, which directly influences overall consumer reliability and quality scores.
In our evaluation of over 160 million speed tests, Minnesota demonstrated network responsiveness with a median round-trip latency of 22.15 ms alongside median download speeds reaching 110.1 Mbps and upload speeds of 31.7 Mbps. Real-world network performance reveals noticeable variations between leading urban corridors and surrounding communities. Leading municipal markets like Saint Paul (ranking #77 nationwide with a Grade B+) and Minneapolis (#116) demonstrate the state’s highest urban performance, supported by fiber availability exceeding 50.7% in core neighborhoods.
Conversely, markets like Minneapolis (#116 nationwide, Grade C+) face localized infrastructure hurdles, recording a 72.6% fiber availability rate and median upload speeds of 23.4 Mbps. Because infrastructure quality, plan pricing, and fiber availability shift dramatically from city to city across Minnesota, checking address-level provider coverage remains essential for remote workers, competitive gamers, and everyday households.
