Comparing Internet Speeds Across the Nation
Idaho has the slowest Internet speeds for residential customers in the country, while Rhode Island and other East Coast states have among the fastest.
Differences in download time between the cities with the fastest (Providence, RI) and slowest (Pocatello, ID) connections vary by an order of magnitude i.e. a multiple of ten. More like 12 times, in fact.
Oddly, Washington State has faster Internet connection speeds than California, and all other states west of the Mississippi River. I wonder why…?

I’m pretty sure my apartment is beating Idaho on slow internets right now. Thanks, Time Warner. :(
