This nugget of data comes courtesy of the most recent State of the 
Internet report from Akamai Technologies, which collects and analyzes a 
unique data set of worldwide speeds and IP address usage. When all of 
the company's speed data was sorted by city, three US locations top the 
list before South Korea and Japan begin to dominate.

Those three spots are Berkeley (average speed: 18.7Mbps), Chapel Hill, 
North Carolina (average speed: 17.5Mbps), and Stanford, California 
(average speed: 17.0Mbps). The next US city on the list is Durham, North 
Carolina (average speed: 13.6Mbps) in eighth place, followed by Ithaca, 
New York; Ann Arbor, Michigan; College Station, Texas; Urbana, Illinois; 
Cambridge, Massachusetts; University Park, Pennsylvania; and East 
Lansing, Michigan.
