esc0 @rr.com	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.

jc1350 join:2004-09-23 edit: November 1st, @12:02PM	"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. -- What's certain about Darwinism is that it would take less time for (1) a single-celled organism to evolve into a human being through mutation and natural selection than for (2) Darwinists to admit they have no proof of (1) - Ann Coulter

esc0 @rr.com	reply to footballdude 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.
