Congratulations , Pocatello Idaho . You have American ’s slowest net . That ’s concord toa novel study by Pando Networksthat cut across Internet download speed and completion charge per unit across the nation for five month this yr .
Pando Networksfound some pretty stunning deviation nationwide . The coastal and Mid - Atlantic states had the fast and most true cyberspace ( with Rhode Island scoring highest ) while the Mountain state and Midwest did the worst .
It also reinforces what we already know about the digital divide : wealthier community have in force net service , while poor biotic community tend to have worse . Pocatello , Idaho , um , prod along at a bare 251KBps , while tony Andover , Mass. , was zipping at 2,801KBps .
If you require to move somewhere with super profligate Internet , give one of these cities a try . They were the top ten in the nation :
Andover , Mass : 2801KBps
Lynnwood , Wash : 2474KBps
Woodbridge , Va : 2093KBps
Kent , Wash : 1858KBps
Burke , Va : 1674KBps
West Hartford , Conn : 1640KBps
Clementon , NJ : 1474KBps
Bay Shore , NY : 1443KBps
Santa Monica , Calif : 1428KBps
Lutherville Timonium , Md : 1400KBps
While most cities with sizable tech footprints also did well , a few did amazingly ill ( I ’m looking at you Atlanta , L.A. , and Chicago ):
Atlanta : 665KBps
Austin : 911KBps
Boston : 862KBps
Chicago : 678KBps
Los Angeles : 672KBps
New York : 805KBps
Providence , RI : 869KBps
San Francisco : 912KBps
Seattle : 1017KBps
And now behold ! Interactive charts !
Average Completion Rate by State
modal Download Speed By State ( Kilobytes Per Second )
In terms of providers , Comcast Cable did the dear . It had ordinary focal ratio of 871KBps , with a 90 % completion pace . And New Yorkers , if you surmise your Time Warner cable imbibe , you ’re veracious ! Road Runner ( Time Warner ’s Internet servicing ) did the worst in the land . In New York State , it had average speeds of just 720KBps , with an 87 % culmination rate .
Perhaps the biggest surprise was wandering , where AT&T did the best with 416KBps , Verizon was at a measly 216KBps , while Alltell score the lowest at 155KBps .
I opine the most interesting takeaway for me in person is that with my combination of Comcast , AT&T and San Francisco , California , I ’m at the vanguard and really ought to arrest all my bitching .
