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.
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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18357008 Fri, 18 May 2007 16:25:44 EDT Re: Census http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18356980 fonzbear2000 :

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.
i have comcast

that's the 6/384 tier with powerboost]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18356980 Fri, 18 May 2007 16:21:52 EDT Re: Census http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18356485 fiberguy : 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.

Under this bill it would say I am not receiving broadband as my connection at home is 1500/768.

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.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18354948 Fri, 18 May 2007 09:31:12 EDT Census http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18354881 MrMoody : Figures, as soon as I post in the Morning Links thread.

They should use the 2010 Census to map it precisely.

Also, the proposed definition is 1Mb minimum up! Go Dems! Under this definition I don't have broadband available, in fact I don't think there's (residential) 1Mb upload available anywhere in this whole semi-suburban county of about 150,000.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18354881 Fri, 18 May 2007 09:15:25 EDT
