According to their metadata, that's just 2000 census info. Very out of date.
Here's something interesting though...
This is from their map server. Looks like ConnectTn is a lot more than ConnectTn.

What kinda speeds can 1.1 do?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22490294 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:22:54 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489567 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489567 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:28:54 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489555
Also, BPL *does* work, provided you can get cheap bandwidh to the substation etc. Which probably isn't doable out in the sticks anyway. Though if you look through the DSLR forums you'll see a few successful BPL customers through DirecTV...or was it Dish...speeds were 1.5 Mbps both ways.

Though WiMAX can deliver more, comparable to a DOCSIS 1.1 cable system. Doesn't sound like much to in-town people but great for out-of-towners.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489555 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:27:14 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489527 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489527 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:24:35 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489415 It would just roll over to the next available, less busy radio. They have built a system like this in Palm Desert, California. Works VERY well.!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489415 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:09:35 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489411 said by iansltx:

Easy solution: WiMAX.
It's a solution but it's not necessarily easy. There seems to be the mistaken belief that WiMAX was developed for rural areas. It was originally developed (just like LTE) for metro areas. It has been found that it (Revision E) works reasonably well in some rural areas but those towers, equipment and radio spectrum are not inexpensive. Once those towers are both in place and paid for it becomes a relatively inexpensive "last mile" solution.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489411 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:09:05 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489225 said by iansltx:

Easy solution: WiMAX. Before you tune me out, it'll cover long distances with the right antennas, and it'll fill all those peksy coverage holes. If a WiMAX tower gets overloaded due to lots of subscribers, you've found a place that might be economical to wire. Simple as that :)
I'm not against WiMax it's just like BPL all I heard for year is how it's the next big thing then nothing ever happens. I remember reading in 2000 how by 2010 BPL was going to be a major player in broadband and how you were going to be able to get super cheap and fast interent from your electric company even if you lived in the boonies]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489225 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:41:03 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489066 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489066 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:17:45 EDT Re: 95% can be real if... it determines what 95% coverage is. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-95-can-be-real-if-it-determines-what-95-coverage-is-22489049 said by Sammer:

Well if an area is totally unihhabited is it REALLY necessary to have broadband there? Kentucky is very rual outside the "big" cities. In areas where there aren't any people I don't think ISPs should have to put in broadband to make a map look fuller.
Any broadband mapping would have to include a reasonable definition of minimum population density such as XX/square mile.
Is this detailed enough for you?

I suspect that they are doing the 'following':
95% (of those in cities of +100k residents),
not 95% of the land

Lies, lies, and .... statistics!
