Coverage Map

Rank: 85 (out of 87) for access to 100/20 megabits per second (Mbps)

Todd County ranks 85 for broadband access and 83 for digital equity out of 87 counties. They have hovered between 47-49 percent coverage to broadband of 100 Mbps down and 20 up since 2020. There is a slight dip in access this year but it is within a margin of error and may simply reflect a more granular look at access. They have 6702 households without access to broadband at that speed. Estimates indicate that it will cost $63.3 million to get to ubiquitous broadband in the county.

County will benefit from ReConnect funding through Upsala Cooperative Telephone Association in Morrison, Stearns and Todd counties.

Working with the Blandin Foundation, Todd County has been focused on better broadband for a long time. They work hard but still rank at the bottom, demonstrating that even the hardest working counties need an engaged provider. That missing piece leaves them at code red, despite ongoing efforts, such as the broadband summit they cohosted with Wadena last spring (2022).
