"FCC Finds Slow Broadband Speeds"

The Federal Communications Commission said Tuesday that more than half
of all high-speed Internet subscribers are receiving data at slower
speeds than what was advertised to them. In a report on the progress
of its plan to bring broadband access to all American homes, the FCC
reported several findings, including that actual broadband speeds
lagged advertised speeds by as much as 50 to 80 percent.

The report also found that 3 to 6 million people lack access to basic
broadband. Making broadband universally accessible across the country
could cost between $20 billion and $350 billion. Nearly two-thirds of
Americans have broadband at home, the report found. Thirty-three
percent of Americans have access but have not subscribed, and another
4 percent say they have no access where they live.
