United States Internet Speed is Declining - This sucks
Brandon Davenport
Akamai let their quarterly State of the Internet report out into the wild this week, along with this chart showing the fastest national networks in the world. According to this peppy little chart, from 2008 to 2009, the world's internet got 13% faster on average. America's got 2.4% less awesome, in other words, this sucks. The weird (but cool) part is that this chart shows that even the top 10 countries in terms of broadband speed, show no signs of slowing down. In fact, they are speeding up!
Even though this chart could ruin your day, be thankful you don't live on the Island of Mayotte. It came in last of the 203 nations tested. Ouch.
