second. if you were expecting new york or california, home to silicon valley, to top the list, then the winner was probably a surprise. but akamai says delaware has always been a strong performer. some of that has to do with its size... delaware is the second-smallest state in the country, which makes it easier to bring higher speed connectivity to most of the population. runner-ups were new hampshire, vermont, utah, and rhode island. the slowest internet connection is found in arkansas. the good news is things are speeding up across the board. the average internet speed in all 50 states has increased since the end of last year. that's thanks to continued investment being made by both telecoms and the government. but even though the internet is getting faster, it still may not feel like it. that's because we're using more and more technology. with tablets, laptops, and smartphonns, many people connect to the internet anytime they want... putting greater strain on the network. i'm alison kosik in new york. -----end-----cnn.script----- --keyword tags-- an alligator... loses it at an indiana county fair...
