"Akamai observed that from a global perspective, South Korea had the highest measured levels of “high broadband” (>5 Mbps) connectivity. In the United States, Delaware topped the list, with over 60% of connections to Akamai occurring at 5 Mbps or greater. At the other end of the bandwidth spectrum, Rwanda and the Solomon Islands topped the list of slowest countries, with 95% or more of the connections to Akamai from both countries occurring at below 256 Kbps. In the United States, Washington State and Virginia turned in the highest percentages of sub-256 Kbps connections. However, in contrast to the international measurements, these states only saw 21% and 18% of connections below 256 Kbps respectively."
"During the first quarter, Akamai observed attack traffic originating
from 125 unique countries around the world. China and the United States
were the two largest attack traffic sources, accounting for some 30% of
this traffic in total. Akamai observed attack traffic targeted at 23
unique network ports. Many of the ports that saw the highest levels of
attack traffic were targeted by worms, viruses, and bots that spread
across the Internet several years ago."
