Most of these articles about broadband access conflate Internet access with broadband speeds. Yes, Internet access is basically a necessity in modern life. However, 25Mbps download (which is the definition used) is absolutely not.
- rwallace 9y agoAs I understand it, while the talk is about speed, the real issue is reliability: in rural America if you try to get broadband, some of the time you'll get a few megabits per second, which is enough to get by, but a good deal of the time, your nominally broadband connection won't be delivering any data at all.
