Overview

Akamai's globally distributed Intelligent Platform™ allows us to gather massive amounts of data on many metrics including Internet connection speeds, network connectivity/availability issues, and IPv6 adoption progress as well as traffic patterns across leading web properties and digital media providers. Each quarter, Akamai publishes the State of the Internet Report based on this data.

Editorial Reviews

Akamai's State of the Internet Report is the most reliable and comprehensive survey of the dynamic global Internet. It's required reading for any serious analyst in the Internet development space.

Richard Bennett

"The State of the Internet reports are an incredibly useful source of information. They contain data that is not produced elsewhere and the supporting analysis provides invaluable insights on the level of internet take-up and network performance across a broad range of countries. Akamai is also very transparent about their methods and has changed the scope of the report over time to reflect feedback from end-users."
