| FCC "The FCC also insists that anything over 200kbps is broadband".
Your kidding right FCC? In my personal opinion if you can't hit at least 1MB your not using broadband. |

1 edit | "broadband" is being misused by just about everyone broadband is simply multiple signals over the same wire (cable TV/Cable Internet and DSL/voice phone for example). This is opposed to baseband with one discrete signal on the wire (10baseT for example)
If you have cable Internet and it's at 25 kbps, it's still broadband
broadband has nothing to do with speed.
EDIT: I agree with your idea, however. Claiming an entire district is "broadband/high-speed enabled" because of a single install is bogus. |

In my opinion, anything faster than dialup is broadband.

Re: "broadband" is being misused by just about everyone Terminology has been allowed to become irrelevant over time. For example "speed" is often used in place of throughput or bandwidth. |

Re: FCC If we don't pressure the FCC for better services we will remain where we are for many more years to come. Many will say we are heading in that direction, look at FIOS.
I say it has taken too long to reach there and some parts of the country still don't have access to even dial-up.
Europe is ahead of us in infrastructure. We need be up there with them. Many folks in the US don't realize this and think we have the best services over here.
C'mon FCC. Wake up. All I see is the prices going up and services and options are the same. |
