Accessing The Big Intertubes
We’re number two (tied with Boston)!
Haven’t really thought about broadband availability in a long time, and have kinda fallen into the mindset of thinking that what we have here is normal. As the article says, it’s cheap here; as the article doesn’t say, it’s because there’s a lot of competition for your business here.
But here’s my question: if San Diego is second in the country for having in-home broadband connections by having 61% of the households wired, and the national average is only 49%, what is the excuse of those communities in the 40% range?
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any arguments on designing sites for a 56K audience, and notice more and more sites clogging up even my cable modem speeds. Curious how the 39% are handling Web 2.0, or whatever we’re calling it these days.
They have the Roxy running around in her wheel…that’s what powers it….
