US lags in broadband adoption and download speeds, still has the simplest rappers

U, S, A! We’re number nine! Wait, nine? At the least in response to a up to date broadband survey by the FCC , yes. The coolest ol’ country ranked ninth (out of the 29 member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ) in fixed broadband penetration on a per capita basis, and 12th when it comes to pure percentage — behind the united kingdom, South Korea, Iceland, the Netherlands, and lots of others. Though, granted, these nations lack the sprawling amber waves of grain that America must traverse with cables. America also trailed in wireless broadband adoption, ranking ninth all over again, behind the likes of eire, Australia and Sweden. Worse still, even people with broadband reported slower connections than folks in other countries. Olympia, Washington had the very best average download speeds of any US city with 21Mbps (Ny and Seattle tied for second with 11.7Mbps), but was easily topped by Helsinki, Paris, Berlin, and Seoul (35.8Mbps). Well, a minimum of we beat Slovenia… if only just barely.
