Strange how "broadband" and "high speed internet" can have a different meaning in various parts of the country. For ex: a 10 mbps dsl line is considered "high speed" in New Hampshire.

The article addresses the issues of multiple agencies with multiple definitions of broadband, specifically mentioning that the Dept of Agriculture has a definition of 10/1.
10/1? Whats I am suppose to do with that, wipe my ass?

How am meant to backup my pc? Might as well send my data on Sd card by post.

When broadband became a regulated term, those ISPs falling short of the low bar set by the US Government rebranded their product to HSI.
