The good news: the world’s broadband networks continue to get faster as fiber optic broadband gets cheaper to deploy. The bad news: the U.S. continues its mediocre showing in most broadband metrics thanks to limited competition and terrible government policy.

According to the latest data from Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index, worldwide mobile and fixed download speeds jumped 59.5 and 32 percent respectively since last year.
