On a year-over-year basis, all 51 states saw increases in average
connection speeds compared with the fourth quarter of 2013, and
all of the states in the top 10 saw double-digit gains. Massachusetts’s
11% yearly increase was the smallest of the top 10, while Delaware’s
33% jump was the largest. Across the entire country, Missouri saw
the largest yearly gain at 37% (to 9.8 Mbps), while New Hampshire
and New Mexico saw the smallest increases at 5.4% (to 12.5 Mbps
and 7.9 Mbps, respectively). Maryland was the only other state in
the country to see a yearly growth rate below 10%, although it came
close at 9.9% (to 12.0 Mbps).

Despite a 2.6% quarterly increase to 7.4 Mbps, Alaska remained the
state with the lowest average connection speed in the fourth quarter.
Kentucky, New Mexico, and Arkansas round out the bottom four,
each with average connections speeds just below 8 Mbps.
