Re: Honestly

hehe FCC wants to define my old wimpy dsl as advanced and you all want to define it as nothing.

I am thinking we need a definition that gets my old 640k in the middle

ISDN200k ergo it's not counted.

A lot of people only want the cheapest connection which is where 768k and 256k come in. If they sold 56k DSL at 10$ a month we'd see people getting it. Most Americans just want basic internet and speed is not important to them outside of surfing.

Exactly. I also have a sneaky feeling the telco's are including ISDN connections (Yes, they still exist) as 'broadband'.

The FCC's 200Kbps definition and classification as an 'advanced service line' is laughable.
