‘Internet Connection Speeds Are Up Globally, Lag in the U.S.’ – ‘Mashable’
Kari Paul says, “Average Internet speeds have steadily increased internationally over the last few quarters — but the U.S. isn’t keeping up with the growth, a new report suggests.
According to cloud services provider Akamai, the average connection speed increased globally 1.8% to 3.9 Mbps in the last quarter. The growth is part of an ongoing trend, as the average connection sped up 13% globally from this time last year; on pace with expected rates.
Although the U.S. did see a quarter-over-quarter increase of 10% at 10.5 Mbps, its growth is not on pace with the rest of the world, and it now ranks 12th out of the 98 countries surveyed”.
