Exactly... lets see the issues with 'broadband' from the above:
1. Cable
Yes - this is broadband - exists in most markets

2. DSL
Yes - this is broadband, exists in most markets, not considered 'broadband' at all locations

3. Verizon EVDO (mobile)
Highly restricted by ToS - 5GB cap, etc.

4. AT&T HSDPA (mobile)
Highly restricted by ToS - 5GB cap, etc.

5. Sprint HSDPA (mobile)
Its Sprint... may not have an issue with being called broadband, just C.S, billing, and firesale issues

6. T-Mobile HSDPA (mobile)
VERY limited 3G markets - can it be tethered ?

7. Clearwire Wi-Max
VERY limited market - only current wireless that still has potential, with a lot of hype

8. FiOS/U-Verse.
Limited markets - Uverse has many issues around obtaining broadband w/o TV service, unless you want to pay $$$ for a business line w/o SLA.

If the wireless make broadband 'usable' for a decent price, I might be in. While they restrict VoIP, downloading, streaming, etc. Its a fascade.
Of that list, I can only get DSL 1.5 Mbps.
So the competition is zero for my area, and I'm guessing for a lot of others too.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20490578 Thu, 15 May 2008 23:27:43 EDT Re: pffff..tttttttt... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20488253 en102 : Exactly... lets see the issues with 'broadband' from the above:
