808... you wrote "as long as you know where the DSLAMS are and you live close enough you can get 11 meg dsl in any subdivision that has DSL." That's like saying "If they sell Powerball tickets at the local 7-11, you can buy a ticket and win $50 million." Good luck with that... Even if you know where the DSLAMs serving your subdivision are, if there are no ports , there are no ports...at any speed, let alone 11 meg.
For years, even the FCC has tracked broadband availability by a methodology that asked "Is broadband available in the zip code." But as we all know, a few users in a zip code does not constitute broadband availability. What I want to know is why regulators haven't made internet build out more of a priority for the cable company and telco?
