United States’ High Speed Internet Is Really Slow

A new report ranks the countries of the world by how fast their internet service is, on average.  Guess where the U.S. ranks?

First?

Nope.

Second?

Nope.

Top 5?

Nope.

We’re 15th.  14 other countries have faster Internet connections than the country that “invented the Internet.”

The average US download speed was 2.3 MB per second.

Japan–the number one overall country–had average download speeds 30 times that, at 63 MB per second.

Oh well, at least we’re still the best in the world at some things… like swimming.
