A recent study has ranked the U.S. as having the18th fastest broadband speed in the world. (Check out the broadband map to see how we size up.) The government has taken notice of this report & in March, The Federal Communication Commission announced that they have created The National Broadband Plan to increase speed to 100-megabit-per-second connections in 100 million American homes by 2020.
For some that isn't quick enough: both time-wise and speed-wise. Chattanooga, Tennessee began offering one-gigabit-per-second internet upload and download speeds Monday, September 13, 2010. The rate is 250 times the average internet speed in the nation. Chattanooga's mayor hopes that this will attract new businesses to the area looking for lightning-fast speeds that technology really isn't ready for, yet. Impatient web-serfers you may have found your Mecca!
