My local Electric Co-op is surveying people

They want to know if you have access to broadband, not if you have it, but can you get it.

These kind of surveys fill in the gaps as well. Too many people are still un-served by broadband/wifi/WiMax.

Its not a matter of rural people just wanting dialup, thats fine if they do, but those who want broadband don't always get it.

I pay for a dialup account for my mother who cannot get DSl/Cable/Wifi/WiMax or anything faster than 1/4 strength CDMA (on a good day with a powered antenna)

This is probably at the request of IBM for BPL part deux.

Don't worry this will fall flat on its face like the other BPL projects.

IBM is just using rural areas to secure funding.

Good idea, maybe this should be included in the Census data. Can you get broadband? What speed can you get? Do you have broadband? What speed do you pay for? What speed to you actually get? What is the source ( DSL/Cable/Wifi/etc...)
