Davison, SD Internet Speeds — Measured 2024
Real speed tests run in Davison County, South Dakota during 2024 recorded a median download of 95.5 Mbps, upload of 36.6 Mbps and latency of 31.9 ms, across 677 measurements. That is 1.1× the US median and places it #622 of 2,425 US counties.
What these numbers mean here
The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Davison came in below 95.5 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 52.0 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 193.7 Mbps — a spread that usually reflects a mix of fibre, cable and older DSL lines in the same area rather than one uniform service level.
At 95.5 Mbps down and 36.6 Mbps up, a typical household here can handle HD streaming and video calls, though simultaneous heavy use may compete for bandwidth. Latency of 31.9 ms is acceptable for most real-time use.
