| broadband so as long as they advertise something fast... despite never delivering that speed to anyone. It would still be broadband?
So if they JUST BARELY get a sync on DSL using interleaved. Then somehow that's acceptable to be sold as a HIGHSPEED BROADBAND. Is this 1995 still?
As for the consumer though. 5mbit is decent. Would probably hurt the providers pretty badly though; and symmetrical? Erm... nobody really needs more then 1mbit upload... Making it symmetrical would make it arguable that since they dont sync at 5mbit upload... You would need some extremely high quality service running there. COs being very close.
How about broadband being simply...
-t-1/ds-1 line? 1.544mbit down + up.
-a % of reliability/uptime(we provide you 100mbit 12 seconds out of the day. Then it's UP TO 128kbit)
-a maximum latency so as to rule out interleaved dsl.
-Service of X days relative to the cap. (currently they tend to provide about 12 hours of service per month with their caps. generally speaking)
-net neutral |

...at a minimum, broadband should be defined as a symmetrical telecommunications service that can reasonably deliver (at all times, including peak-use times) to each end-user of a connection, 5 megabits per second (Mbps) of bandwidth (in both the down and upstream directions), at latencies low enough to enable high-quality real time voice and video two-way communications. |

The point I was making was that the industry's definition wasnt taking it into account. |
