The national average internet download speed is 99.3 Mbps. The East Coast, Texas, and California have the fastest speeds in the US, which are often more than double the speeds in some rural areas. Rhode Island now ranks as number one for fastest internet speeds in the US, beating out Maryland. Although the Federal Communications Commission still sets 25 Mbps as the minimum broadband speed, even the slowest average internet speeds in each state are at least double that. Rural states like Montana, West Virginia, and Wyoming have the slowest internet speeds, averaging only about 55 Mbps.
