I know lots of countries leave US speed in the dust but this is how our go carts perform against each other.

A Map of Who's Got the Best (And Worst) Internet Connections in America

The fastest single location, with an average download speed of 85.5 Mbps belongs to Ephrata, Wash., a small town of 7,000 that happens to be home to its own fiber optics provider. Google's grand experiment in Kansas City, Kan. comes in second, clocking in at 49.9 Mbps. The worst speeds can be found in Northeastern Arizona, where Chinle and Fort Defiance both clock in at less than 1.5 Mbps.

lol Ephrata WA is comical if you've ever been there.

But Amazon + tech companies have massive datacenters there because it's the cheapest electricity in the country from the hydro electric dam.

The average (commercial) electricity rate in Ephrata is 62.93% less than the national average rate of 10.09¢/kWh. Commercial rates in the U.S. range from 6.86¢/kWh to 34.88¢/kWh.[2]

upload speed would be interesting, 1.5mbps down isn't really that bad on its own, but coupled with 128/256kbps up it is.
 
^^ 15 miles north of ephrata is actually a cool area, but west or east is just flat, hot, agriculture. We drive through there on the way to our cabin. It's around 3 hours drive from Seattle.
