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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19364186 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:44:08 EDT Re: "broadband" is being misused by just about everyone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19363989 jc1350 : Touché :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19363989 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:13:31 EDT Re: "broadband" is being misused by just about everyone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19363803 openbox9 : Terminology has been allowed to become irrelevant over time.

"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.
In my opinion, anything faster than dialup is broadband.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19362897 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 10:17:02 EDT FCC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19362807 anon : "The FCC also insists that anything over 200kbps is broadband".
