The smallest state in the union is ranked #1 for both download & upload speed.
Wonder why. 
Slowest state for both download & upload is South Dakota.
Incidentally, New Mexico ranked 27th in download, but 18th in upload.

on the top of the list for download/upload speeds worldwide -
both countries have a fairly high population density - IOW
much less sprawl.

Made the assumption that there were 50 states, so SD was the slowest at 50th. They tricked me and counted District of Columbia as a "state". That made Alaska #51.
Tricky Tricksters. |
