Sparklight® Recognized for Best Internet Gaming Experience in North Dakota by Ookla®

March 28, 2025

FARGO, N.D., (July 31, 2025) – Sparklight®, Fargo’s hometown internet provider, has been recognized for providing the best online gaming experience in the state of North Dakota for the first half of 2025* by Ookla®, the global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights. 

The Ookla® Gaming Experience recognition is based on real-world, consumer-initiated Speedtest® results and Consumer QoE™ measurements taken directly from live game servers. These results provide a reliable snapshot of performance across critical metrics that matter most to gamers, like latency, jitter and upload/download speeds.

“We’re proud to be recognized by Ookla because this honor is based on real feedback from the customers who rely on our service every day,” said Mike Drahota, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, North Central. “We’re continually investing in and enhancing our network to deliver the speed, reliability and performance our customers expect — whether they’re working from home, streaming content or gaming online. This recognition highlights how our ongoing investments are creating a seamless experience, even for the most demanding, real-time applications like online gaming.”

Sparklight provides Fargo-area residential customers with speeds up to 1 Gig, supporting uninterrupted streaming, gaming, remote work, smart home connectivity and more. For businesses, Sparklight Business delivers up to 10 Gig fiber-powered internet and tailored solutions for industries including education, healthcare, government, financial services and hospitality.

Through a partnership with eero, an Amazon company, Sparklight also offers intelligent whole-home Wi-Fi with advanced security, device management tools and parental controls.

Over the past three years, Sparklight has invested more than $1 billion across its footprint to enhance connectivity for the communities it serves.
