60-Percent of U.S. Broadband Misses 4 Mbps Mark

60-percent under 4mbps
Last year, the FCC conducted a survey of the broadband landscape in the U.S, and things aren't looking good. The findings, released this week, reveal that 60-percent of broadband connections fall short (PDF) of the 4 Mbps download speeds that constitute the "minimum bandwidth generally required to accommodate today's uses." It's not all bad news, though; 31-percent exceeded 6mbps, and wireless accounted for a large chunk of those slower connections.
