One of the things that frustrates me is that ISPs have successfully lobbied broadband surveys to exclude "inconvenient" plans. AT&T asked that their DSL plans were not counted towards their "average bandwidth" because they were "obsolete and no longer being marketed". To be clear - they were still _available_, and in many cases, your only option, but they were an anchor pulling down the average, so AT&T just "didn't want them to count".
