Right... I know it's hard to figure out an appropriate division, but when this came up a few weeks back, I came up with the following:
For my home, 2.5mi from the Capital Building in Washington State, I'm offered four wired broadband providers:
1. Comcast, "advertised 100mbps to 1gbps" (true enough, although you can only get 150mbps, so I'm not sure if that's bracketing)
2. CenturyLink, "25-50mbps" (CenturyLink's own website says "Our systems indicate that our High Speed Internet is not currently available at your service address." I tried several other streets in the area that indicated that none of them had availability either.)
3. Platinum Equity LLC, "10-25mbps" (err, Platinum Equity is an investment firm - oh, one of their portfolio offers "T1 and Bonded T1" lines to businesses and after further investigation would offer me 192K SDSL as a residential offering)
4. Integra Telecom Holdings, "3-6mbps" (a Vancouver telco that does business fiber).
So there's one - Olympia, WA.
