If hype were broadband, the U.S. would be No. 1.

A new FCC report and database describe broadband availability and speeds by Zip Code. Bruce Kushnick put in his Zip, and found that just about all the important information in it was incorrect.

Q. Just how bad is the FCC’s report on the broadband available in your Zip Code?

I’m excited as I sit here going through the new FCC Internet Access report, released this past week, as well as the new FCC broadband database search engine to tell me all of the competitive very fast broadband services available to me. The database reportedly cost $300 million to build, a little less than $3 a household. So I thought I’d check it out to see how it compares to reality when I look for residential broadband services in my neighborhood, Zip Code 11209, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York.

I go through the process words like “deceit” and “flim-flam” come to mind. The database for my Zip Code is incorrect, way off. What the FCC’s Internet Access report really shows is that the U.S. has plenty of hype but not much to back it up. If hype were broadband, America would be No. 1.
