U.S. Broadband Still Relatively Slow > Zip Code

Zip Code

I hate when they go by the zip code because time warner cable said there is cable in my zip code. Guess if one person in the zipcode has some highspeed internet, everyone else has the availability to get high speed internet. So much bullshit going on these days.

How's the wireless project coming? How many folks in your area would be willing to get service if it was available? You might be able to do 20 Mbps symmetric over wireless with some of this new hot-shot tech

Lol what wireless project. Really dont talk to the people down the street other then 1 family but thats it. Even they are waiting for roadrunner or dsl.

If there are enough potential subscribers in your area (probably not; the number would be around 70) you could grab a 100 Mbit connection from Cogent, set up your wireless gear and have wireless internet that's as fast as cable...

I would of gone with wireless but since I got no line of sight, it would be way to much work and I really dont know much about wireless so Id rather wait for that broadband stimulus plan if that does anything at all for me. Started poking AT&T with a stick using the BBB. That seemed like it failed horribly so now time to use a bigger stick, The FCC. Im not gona give up without a fight after what they done to me.

I live in Alaska and both broadband cable and Clearwire wireless are horrible compared to the other two states I lived in. Neither provide what they claim, both slow way down and become clogged in the evenings and are slow as mud on the weekends. Clearwire is so slow we can't even stream YouTube videos a lot of the time, it grinds to a halt, drops the connection, and it is often slower than the dial-up we used 15 years ago.

We can quibble over the numbers in the report, but the USA has fallen way behind, and Alaska is like going back in time.
