Apparel retailers gave web shoppers the most consistent high broadband performance in December.

Gomez Inc. notes that customers with a high broadband connection could visit an apparel retailer’s site in about 5.53 seconds, compared to specialty retailers (6.19 seconds), mass merchants (6.55 seconds) and computers and electronic retailers (6.88 seconds).

The next fastest web retailing category was specialty (15.53 seconds), followed by computers and electronics (17.14 seconds) and mass merchants (17.19 seconds).
