Sam Crawford, Director at by Crawford, commented on the results:
“For many people, the Internet has become an indispensable part of their everyday lives and work. Some people also feel lost without the Internet in their free time.”
Since it can be frustrating to have no internet or a poor connection, we wanted to find out which states have the most complaints about internet quality. We found that West Virginia had the worst internet on average, measured by the number of complaints, while North Dakota had the best.
We also found that billing complaints and internet availability issues were the most common types of complaints across all states.”
