Re: Average U.S. Broadband Speed: 1.9Mbps
said by ColorBASIC  :said by damox :said by Oleg :This Is not correct Average U.S. Broadband Speed Is around 3-6 mbits  And just how did you figure that? Do you have a source, or is that you guess? » www.speedtest.net/global.php Of course that only figures in the folks that actually do speed tests and not only speed tests, but speed tests at "Speedtest.com". I would guess that the majority of Internet users, broadband or otherwise, do not ever check their bandwidth at such sites. I guarantee that 99.9% of dial-up users, never check their bandwidth, cause they already know that it's SLOW! Also one would have to ask, what percentage of all internet users actually check their bandwidth at Speedtest.com? How accurate are these sites considering some ISPs like Comcast use tools that fool these sites, such as "Power Boost". Power Boost makes your available bandwidth seem more than it actually is.
