Mount Rushmore is the most famous landmark in South Dakota. It's so famous that South Dakota is even called the Mount Rushmore State. This fact might make you think there's not a lot going on in South Dakota, but hey, if folks do get bored there, they've got the internet to entertain them like everybody else!
South Dakota's 63 internet providers give residents an average download speed of 34.34 Mbps. Fiber coverage in South Dakota is 41 percent, putting the state at 14th in the nation, a surprising feat for such a rural state. Of course, this coverage makes up for the relative lack of cable and DSL coverage. Cable covers only 73 percent of the state and DSL links with just 79 percent of South Dakotans across the prairies, sinking South Dakota to the 50th position for DSL coverage in the U.S. Then again, fiber is faster anyways!
It took 14 years for the artist Gutzon Borglum and his team of hundreds of workers to carve Mount Rushmore. Nowadays, if you wanted to create a Mount Rushmore of your own, you could probably download an app and superimpose the faces of your cats on all kinds of mountains in seconds. And for South Dakotans, this isn't an expensive proposition, either. The average price per month of internet in South Dakota is $54.92, landing the state into the 5th position for monthly affordability. Still, you might not want to go crazy using all your available internet to create "Mount Catmores," as the average price per Mbps in South Dakota is a steep $1.11.
Despite its population of fewer than 2,000 people, Britton is home to the fastest most available download speeds in South Dakota. Clocking in with download speeds and upload speeds up to 1 Gbps, you'll be able to stream shows faster than the winds whipping across the prairie. For choices, South Dakota's biggest city, Sioux Falls leads with 27 internet providers, while Rapid City, an apt name for a city with great internet, comes in second with 19 internet providers. Mount Rushmore might be the most astounding project completed in South Dakota to date, but with internet widely available throughout the state, who knows what its citizens will create in the future.
