What a horrible piece of writing. No link to the actual PCMag article, no mention of the other cities, and no mention of what they used to test (an app? a site? wifi tether?).

I'm sitting in Cleveland (a suburb, actually) and I average 20 mbps via Speakeasy. Soooo........

...mines like 8-12 near DC I get higher and lower peaks, but 8-12 probably what I average.

I've definitely hit 20+ mbps from my office in the Ballston area of Arlington.

Kewl. I've hit 20+ before too, but it's rare. I guess my location in the middle of Old Town Alexandria isn't the sweet spot. I'm just happy to have it, because down south at home I don't, but then I'm on wifi anyway, so it works out. I lose it about half way home on my commute.

I just got 7.7 down and .5 up which has been pretty consistant in the burbs of CHI.

I haven't gotten above 10 in awhile.

This past weekend when I was in Chi town out by Ohare--I got a 30.47Mbps down and 9.69Mbps uplink using the Speedtest.net app on my android. I will upload a pic here in a bit.
