The fastest average Internet speed in America is still only half of South Korea’s 

According to a review chartered by Broadview Networks that measured the average Internet speed in each state by network operator Akamai (seen above), the results aren’t very pretty. While the northeast and northwest have speedy Internet relative to the rest of the country, the Washington Post’s Niraj Chokshi puts this in stark perspective: 

“But even the fastest speed in the nation, Virginia’s 13.7 average megabits per second, is just more than half of South Korea’s average 23.6 mbps. The U.S. average is 10.5 mbps. Alaska had the slowest Internet speed at 7.0 mbps.”
