Re: High Speed? FCC defines it as 200Kbits

No, they actually believe 200K is broadband. That's the FCC's official definition. Of course, this is only in order to slant statistics towards showing that USA has good broadband coverage, even if someone gets a ridiculously slow satellite feed with 256K nominal download.

Do these commissioners really believe that 768 Kbs is broadband? Just because that is the official government definition of broadband doesn't mean it has to be accepted. Is it really too much to ask for our leaders to understand the technology and demand reasonably fast connections?
