Re: Open wide, here comes some more propaganda

There's tons of B.S. on these stats.
Even if 10-20Mbps was available (again, this was 2006-2007 data), who says that everyone (or anyone) on the highest tiers participated in many areas? There's a real flaw in their measurements.
Actual service available vs. actual service purchased and run against their site.

I agree, this is a very flawed report. In my area I purchase 3mbps DSL because it's basically all I need and it costs less. 20mbps is available for twice as much money. Of course finding this out is a lot more difficult than just having people enter a ZIP code into a speed test.

Yup
I have multiple carriers that will sell me 10Mbps or higher.
I have no requirement for +10Mbps, or to pay for it.
A $25/month 3Mbps/512kbps works well for me.
I suspect that 'caps' will force users to hit higher packages in the near future though.
Eg. a 5GB cap/month on a 1.5-3Mbps DSL line would force me to a higher tier... even if I don't need the higher data rate.
This is a winfall for ISPs.
