How does your Connecticut internet connection stack up?

Right now, the US is falling way behind in relation to the average speed of internet connections when compared to the a lot of other countries:

The second annual speedmatters.org survey of actual Internet speeds of users nationwide shows that the United States has not made significant improvements in deploying high-speed broadband networks in the past year. Our nation continues to lag behind other industrial nations and currently is ranked 15th in the percentage of residents who have broadband access.

Important to note here is that other countries aren't spending any more on their monthly bill than us for their internet connections but they are getting faster connections for their dollar.

How does Connecticut fare in comparison to the rest of our lagging nation?
