I blame this on the DSL providers. In my area, AT&T offers 4 DSL package, and none actually qualifies as Broadband. The lowest package, which is $9.95 a month, is only 768Kb/s download 384 Kb/s upload!:shadedshu The fastest package is 6 Mb/s down, but still only 768 Kb/s upload. The slowest cable connection offered is 15 Mb/s download and 3 Mb/s upload, but it costs $45 per month. It annoys me to no end when I have to go out on site to a customer that has the slowest DSL, and A LOT of people have the slowest DSL connection because it is cheap and it works to check their email. But try to download a large group of Windows updates...
A recent report by the FCC shows that more than two-thirds of so-called broadband internet connections in the U.S. don't actually meet the minimum speed requirements of 4Mbps downtream and 1Mbps upstream to be considered broadband.
