New analysis shows that the increase in the average Internet speed over the past five years is generally much smaller in politically divided states than in states controlled by a single party.
Democrats and Republicans both have stats to point to when touting their policies about high-speed Internet, but just because America’s two biggest political parties have had individual success with their high-speed Internet policies, doesn’t mean they’ve learned how to work together.
 In HighSpeedInternet.com’s continuing effort to analyze the cultural landscape of Internet connectivity, we used numbers from Speedmatters.org and Akamai to find out how Internet speeds have changed over the last five years.
Then we determined which political party had majority control of each state over the same time period -- using information we found on NCSL.org.
