This Is not correct Average U.S. Broadband Speed Is around 3-6 mbits
The CWA did this comparison in a half assed stupid manner. Anyone surprised? They took their numbers from speed tests run at NYC.speakeasy.net. And they took the foreign country speeds from published ISP claims.

As to the NYC.Speakeasy.net tests:
1 - they were run from all over the country and not just from users near NYC as is typically the case when measuring speeds.
2 - the sample was not a random one. Meaning it was users self selecting to run the test from a link at the CWA web site. Further invalidating the results.
3 - The results weren't adjusted for sample error by adjusting for the differing numbers of users from the ISP's and their user bases.

In effect, the results are statistically meaningless.
