Akamai State of the Internet

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.

This quarter’s report includes data gathered from across the Akamai
Intelligent Platform during the second quarter of 2016, covering
Internet connection speeds and broadband adoption metrics across
both fixed and mobile networks as well as trends seen in this data
over time. In addition, the report includes insight into the state of
IPv4 exhaustion and IPv6 adoption, Internet events and disruptions
that occurred during the quarter, mobile browser usage trends, and
observations from Akamai partner Ericsson regarding data and
voice traffic growth on mobile networks.
