Description
Exactly how fast is a broadband connection? While most people acknowledge the importance of speedy broadband connection, it has been hard to compare and contrast the actual bandwidth available in the United States. By surveying actual broadband households, this report provides some answers.

This report details consumer survey results about the amount of bandwidth currently available to residential broadband end-users in the US. It covers the type of broadband access technology (i.e., cable modem, DSL, FTTH, etc.) being used, the company providing the service, the download and upload speeds of the end-users' broadband connection, and how much they are paying for broadband service.
