An analysis conducted on the Federal Communications Commission broadband coverage data to find which states complained about internet services the most, found that North Dakota had the best internet satisfaction in the country. Complaints were collected, separated by type of complaint, and divided by the total number of broadband serviceable locations in each state. States were then ranked by total internet complaints per 100,000 locations.
