Re: [AFMUG] US Internet Speeds Improve But The Country Ranks Only 20thIn The World
It was related to the economic impact of broadband via Travis's comment. This report is also skewed if you really consider the source and peaks. Many 1Gbps connections are shadowing the hordes of DSL out there. This has been discussed on several sites in depth now, and the more accurate data set based on Akamai's state of the internet report that shows 0 states with an average broadband speed of greater than 25Mbps. The Q1 2016 report is a fantastic resource that breaks down speeds, usage, ipv4/v6 stats, etc. On Aug 8, 2016 12:53 PM, "Adam Moffett" wrote: > I understandbut that doesn't have any impact on average speedtest > results for the country. > > > -- Original Message -- > From: "Josh Reynolds" > To: af@afmug.com > Sent: 8/8/2016 1:31:05 PM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] US Internet Speeds Improve But The Country Ranks Only > 20thIn The World > > > Actually in my personal experience, access to "high speed" broadband has > created jobs in our area.

Reminds me of my grandma when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She refused to wait for anything. She habitually cut in lines and bitched about being on hold. "I don't have much time left, I can't be bothered to wait in lines". What really made her mad was when her Apple password had to be changed and needed to have a capital letter and number.
