I just read, I could dig it up, that about 1/3 of all broadband users have one and only one provider, about 1/3 have 2, and about 1/3 have 3 or more. And a tiny sliver have zero, hence "about".
Perhaps, if you count DSL as broadband, or you count cellphone tethering.
Otherwise, I would assume it's closer to 85/12/3.
Could you dig that up, Barry?

Thank you. That suggests that 90% of USAdian households have access to wired broadband that is 10mbps down or better, which flies pretty hard in the face of the last numbers I saw, which said that no better than 60% had even DSL available to them as presently orderable service. I wonder what the original FCC data actually said. And meant. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
