A bit ironic that the latest – third annual – report from the Communication Workers of America Union is a whopping 20 megabites (could take an hour to download via a dialup connection). I’ve embedded the full PDF at the bottom of this post.
U.S. connection speeds have not improved significantly in the past year, according to the Union’s press release. The results of nearly 413,000 real-time Internet connection speed tests (conducted using widgets exactly like the one below) show that the United States continues to lag behind other countries for average upload and download speeds.
See my other blog posts on this issue here.
What speed are you getting? Is upload speed anywhere near download speed?
