Re: Rhode Island?
said by dennismurphy  :...not all that surprising, believe it or not. I don't think it is that surprising either for a totally different reason. Most New Jerseyites don't use Akamai's crappy Web 2.0 services. 
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. |

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. |
