A study by the Communications Workers of America compiled a list that ranked the Internet speeds of industrialized nations around the world. The rank of the US is truly rank: 28th. The average speed of the nation is 5.1 mbps while the average speed of the leader, South Korea, is 20.4 mbps.
The study is not scientific: Some states had far more data points to draw from than others. And in a seemingly arbitrary decision, the study included U.S. territories Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, where slow speeds helped to bring down the average, but inexplicably not Guam and American Samoa.
