Heh, the cable industry supporting that statement? Somehow I doubt it. 1mbps upstream would clearly cause 'total protonic reversal' along with Brian Roberts head exploding. | |

| Re: Census No , it would not.
They are Comcastic ! They have upload "powerboost" which give a bump to over 1 mbit !
Good try though, they could use wording to fit into the high speed access grouping.

| Re: Census I would think not. The entire concept here is to report accurately (or at least moreso than currently) what is available.
Who really has a 1mbps upstream from Comcast? Around these parts, I have yet to see any Comcast connection pull a 1mbps upstream result from a speed test. | |

| Yea.. I know how "Comcastic" IS the cable industry...
However, this is supposed to be a good thing... haven't gotten all the way down through the rants yet, but this shows that people will bitch because they want something done, and when something is trying to be done, they will bitch about it too.
.. me thinks people just like to bitch and fester.

| Well since ADSL can only max out at 768 I somehow could see this bill wipe out the entire "broadband penetration" map to a mere dots on a U.S map.
Under this bill it would say I am not receiving broadband as my connection at home is 1500/768.
The telco's will fight it tooth and nail. | |

@rr.com | Re: Census Hell I have Road Runner, I get 6Mbps down and only 350Kbps up, so I guess I don't get broadband anymore either. | |

Incorrect- ADSL maxes at 1024k up, though not all providers provision to the full rate. Qwest used to, but for technical reasons went to 896k. | |
