The speed increase yielded by the adoption of broadband throughout much of the U.S. today has been largely taken for granted, due to the poor quality of service. However, for the estimated 27 million Americans who use DSL connections, the absent luxury of speed is readily apparent.

While DSL can meet some users’ needs, the slower data speeds leave many users unhappy with the experience. However, many subscribers in rural areas have no alternatives as cable internet infrastructure has not spread to much of the rural U.S.
