| what is the current state of broadband in rural America?
its only in certain areas that really dont make sense. Ive been to some deserted where they have full cable service. for me? less then a mile away from the city limit so I am considered rural and no one claims us (other then the county).

| Or you get situations where the cable company is the only ISP worth mentioning in the area. TWC is fine here...sure, their nodes might be a bit overloaded but they offer 15 Mbit down and 2 Mbit up and will always deliver the upsteam and half the downstream...
Verizon has let their copper network here sit and spin, with no fiber in sight. THe only fiber in the area, to my knowledge, is TWC's. So the only competition to TWC's residential services are TWC's carrier-grade services. Go figure. |

| By wireless you mean cellular, or some crappy WiFi operation? Satellite doesn't count 
I'll take WiMAX for wireless, or a fast point to point circuit  |

| wimax would be good only if it was available.... There are no wisp around here like small towns might have. Also I dont want cellular cause of the caps. Also because of bad latency. Lets not get started about satellite lol.

Golden, CO | Cell latency isn't all that bad. 150ms to pretty much everywhere. |
