No, I am not talking about the Warner Bros. movie Speed Racer, but the speed of your Internet connection. The Communications Workers of America is conducting an internet speed test and is collecting the data for a report they will present to the FCC. Information obtained from a previous test was helpful in getting the FCC to change its definition of ‘high speed’ The CWA has set up a website called SpeedMatters.org where it outlines 5 key principles;
- Speed and Universality Matter for Internet Access
- The U.S. “High Speed” Definition is Too Slow
- A National High Speed Internet for All Policy is Critical
- The U.S. Must Preserve an Open Internet
- Consumer and Worker Protections Must Be Safeguarded
Check out the site where you can see a state by state comparison of Internet speeds.

I am fortunate to be in an area that does better than most of the State of Minnesota but we as a state and nation lag behind the rest of the industrialized world.
Peace & solidarity
