你正使用的寬帶在全球屬於什麼水平?

Akamai's annual State of the Internet report is loaded with all sorts of interesting, if not terribly surprising, tidbits about both broad and narrowband connections around the globe. The big news? The world-wide average connection speed has jumped 23-percent from last year, to 2.1Mbps. Speeds in the good ol' US-of-A were up 15-percent for an average of 5.3Mbps, though we still languish in 14th place on the list of fastest countries. As expected, Asia continues to dominate the speed race, with 61 cities in Japan alone making the top 100 list. If you want the fastest connections the States have to offer you'll have to head for San Jose or Riverside in CA or the home of the Wu (that's Staten Island for those of you not in the know), which all tied with an average 7.8Mbps connection.

Akamai每年都會發布有關於英特網的年度報告，這個報告不出意料的話應該會有很高的涵蓋面，報道包括寬帶和窄帶在全球的發展趨勢。想知道什麼大新聞嗎？全球的連接速度從去年以來上升了23%達到了2.1兆每秒。而速度評級一直處在優秀的美國帶寬上升了15%達到了5.3兆每秒，但是美國還是隻能排到全球的第14位。正如所預期的，亞洲國家主宰了這一場帶寬比賽，其中日本有61個城市進入了全球寬帶速度最快的前100個城市。當然，如果你目標高遠想要成爲最快的地區，那麼你至少需要比San Jose或者加州的Riverside以及愛爾蘭的Wu快，因爲他們的平均速度都達到了7.8兆每秒。
