US Internet speeds getting faster2016-08-05 03:20 by DanielaTags: Internet
A recent report from Ookla (Speedtest) has shown that Internet speeds in the US have accelerated during the first six months of the year.

The report is based on the 8 million daily tests conducted on Speedtest's website and apps. Read more -here-
