More to the point, DSL is not "broadband" unless it is being used to avoid the need to send the CWA into an apartment building to rewire it.


I'd love to see the numbers on who can choose between one cable provider, and several (useless) providers of 3 mbps dsl.

I'll bet it's a lot more than 12%.


Has there happened a redefinition of broadband since it got faster?

I got 30MBit at the moment, but when I got my first DSL connection back in 2001 I got 1Mbit and it was considered broadband...


As of January, minimum broadband speed is 25Mbps: http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/29/7932653/fcc-changed-defini...


Oh, you get 3 mbps on DSL? Lucky you!


That is an ugly truth.
