Re: Honestly

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.

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.

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
