| forget about speed, how about coverage the real story of U.S. broadband isn't about speed, it's about coverage.
the FCC statistics are so bad, nobody has any idea what kind of coverage exists in the U.S. (one connection in a zip code = coverage for whole zip - get real)
make no mistake: the incumbents don't give a crap if there is universal coverage or not; this is not in their business plan. Their goal is to make money for their shareholders, not offer service to every household in their territory.
furthermore, because of the near total lack of competition, they don't care if you have good service either. If you are not going to make them the money they want to make, you will not be served.
as long as we have the current set up, there will be no universal service and higher speeds will come very slowly. If something isn't done to increase competition, U.S. broadband will slowly but surely, over the next several years, become at best 2nd rate and potentially third rate when compared to the leaders in the world.
if you've got good speeds now, you're lucky; if not, don't hold your breath as it may be a long time coming.

Des Plaines, IL | said by nasadude:the [sic] FCC statistics are so bad, nobody has any idea what kind of coverage exists in the U.S. (one connection in a zip code = coverage for whole zip - get real) Well...since you can set up a VSAT anywhere in the CONUS, technically we have 100% coverage. 
just remember: THE INCUMBENTS DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU. Not even on Election Day? Oh, wrong incumbents... | |
