| No broadband in paradise... Maybe they don't care about BB like their mainland counterparts and are enjoying their surrounding rather then spending hours in front of a pc.
Or out buying and smoking ice instead. |

Since Hawaii and Alaska probably does not have as fast a connection to "The Mainland"/"Lower 48" as the other states, their speeds will be lower than the other states due to the connections themselves (since I assume that all the target Web Sites are not located on Hawaii or Alaska). This is the same as saying that the speeds in Japan is lower than in the US by connecting to US Sites from Japan. |

Or out buying and smoking ice instead. I'd have to agree with you there. I think they could probably care less. I know that if I were living in either state I would be backpacking throughout all of my free-time, instead of rotting my life away in front of a PC. |

It is very puzzling why Hawaii was rated so low. I do know this though.There was a bandwidth crunch here in Hawaii about 7 years ago. But new bandwidth that came online alleviated the crunch.
