Hanging in the Slow Lane

Speedmatters.org has released its second survey of download/upload speeds across the country. West Virginia is not exactly flying along in the fast lane, compared to our neighbors (dl/ul):

• West Virginia: 1987/271 kps
  
• Pennsylvania: 2396/504 kps
  
• Maryland: 3981/1000 kps
  
• Virginia: 5033/837 kps
  
• Kentucky: 1795/395 kps
  
• Ohio: 2523/484
  

So, we're just a tick ahead of the Kentuckians, and only on downloads. As usual, "thank god for Mississippi" (1567/512 kps), although even they get up faster.

For the record, the median download for the country was 2346 kps and upload is 435 kps. The fastest upload state was Rhode Island (6769 kps), while the slowest is Alaska (814 kps). West Virginia slots in at 37th place.
