These places have the slowest Internet in the country | CNN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you think your Internet is slow?<\/a> That’s nothing compared to what these folks are going through.<\/p>\n

If you live in Chicago, and try to connect via AT&T (T, Tech30) from 4 p.m to 11 p.m., speeds for certain websites and Internet services are basically like dial-up in the 1990s.<\/br><\/p>\n

There are a handful of other examples from researchers at M-Lab, which provides tools to assess Internet performance. In some cases, Internet speeds can be as slow as 0.5 Megabits per second.<\/br><\/p>\n

Take Seattle, where CenturyLink (CTL) customers trying to access particular sites from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. will have unbearably slow speeds. New York’s Time Warner Cable (TWC) customers from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Verizon customers from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. speeds are so slow that they can’t access certain sites and services.<\/br><\/p>\n

The same goes for Verizon (VZ, Tech30) customers in Washington trying to access particular sites at either 7 p.m. or 10 p.m.<\/br><\/p>\n
