Why is a LAN usually the fastest?
Short answer. The distance is short, so there are fewer errors and delays.

Usually no single group. Parts are rented from telecom companies.
Size and owner
| Type | Speed | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| PAN | Low | One person |
| LAN | Fastest | One school |
| MAN | High | Company, govt |
| WAN | Slower | Shared |
Remember
| Bigger area: slower |
| Bigger area: more owners |
Who owns a network? It depends on size. Size decides. One person owns a P A N. A school owns its fast local network. A company owns a city network. A W A N is shared, slower. Remember. Bigger is slower. Bigger has more owners.
