Considering the size of Rhode Island no wonder its in the top rankings...lol.
I also like how on the other chart it says % slower than 256mbps. Typos are fun. |

What's surprising is that New Jersey which has a higher population density than Rhode Island (2nd in the US) and has the second highest median income of all fifty states, is not even in the top ten for fastest broadband connected states!

One chart is showing % of connections over 5mbit, and the other is showing % of connections below 256kbit. Makes sense to me. I guess the m versus the k in 256? I glossed right over that. I guess if that was not a typo, then all those percentages should be about 100! |

While parts of NJ are incredibly densely packed (here's looking at you Hoboken), there's still a bunch of farmland and forestry. There are still parts of NJ where high speed broadband tops out at 1.5mbit -- or worse.
Surprising, I guess, because Cablevision covers most of NJ, and they offer 15mbit as a standard package with their Optimum Online service. |

But all seriousness it does say on the report that
quote:
This report will include data gathered across Akamai’s global server network about attack traffic and broadband adoption
Those who usually rely on Akamai's services are business so the title should be The State of Businesses on Internet or The State of Our Best Customers. 
Unfortunately there are not allot of large businesses in NJ anymore who need to rely on a top notch global network let alone broadband. And for those pharmaceuticals companies that have not left their offices for foreign shores probably use their own intranet which is more secure.
Delaware on the otherhand is the corporate captital of the US, at least on the east coast. |
