WASHINGTON: Americans enjoyed improved Internet connections over the past year, but some providers were inconsistent or fell short of delivering advertised speeds, the US telecom regulator said Wednesday. 

The Federal Communications Commission said in its fourth annual "measuring broadband" report that consumers continued to migrate to higher tiers of service — an average of 21.2 megabits per second in 2013, based on advertised speeds, up from 15.6 Mbps in 2012.
