Microsoft says its data shows FCC reports overstate broadband adoption
The FCC says that I have seven possible ISPs at my home.  Never mind that three of those are just different levels of service from AT&T.  And one of those is Sonic that just resells AT&T for more money at lower speeds (not their fault, they have to ride on AT&Ts lines because AT&T won't let Sonic into their cabinets).<p>And two of those are wireless broadband providers who don't actually service my house (although they do service within a mile of me).  So really I have two choices -- AT&T and Comcast.  And I'm one of the lucky ones that has two choices.  And even luckier that one of those is Gigabit.<p>So even for my house, with Gigabit service, the FCC report is <i>still</i> grossly overstated.  I can't imagine how bad their data in rural areas is.
