In speaking about FiOS expansion (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/95375), the president of Verizon recently said (http://telephonyonline.com/broadband/news/strigl-verizon-broadband-0618/) that the United States telecom industry leads the world in mobile and broadband in all the ways that count . A state-by-state report (pdf (http://www.speedmatters.org/document-library/sourcematerials/sm_report.pdf)) on Internet speeds in the United States begs to differ. The report is issued by an organization called SpeedMatters which has a central purpose of encouraging the U.S. to step up to the plate and offer nationwide broadband speeds that are comparable to those available in other countries. As such, it s framed within the context of the idea that we re falling behind everyone else. For example, the page for Kansas stats is titled Kansas and United States Falling Behind . The median download speed for the U.S. is cited as being 1.9 Mbps and upload speeds are considerably lower which they say makes application of the Internet for things like sharing medical files all but impossible.
