#2Really useful when searching for office space or apartments. I can recall many friends who get a great lease on an office only to find they have really slow internet available for their startup.

#5This thing is so broken its not even funny. I tried it when it first came out and not a single one of the wired providers it listed will actually serve my address. The two that actually do serve my address weren't mentioned anywhere. Now when I search my address it doesn't show anything at all.
I'm glad we spent $200 million on that.

That site doesn't work at all in Opera. I haven't had that happen in years. (At least the ads show up...)

#8It shows the right wired providers, but the max up/down rate is low for Cox), and Verizon DSL shows 50-100Mbps; I don't know anyone who gets 50Mbps on the highest plan here, and the lowest plan is like 768kbps.

It did OK for my street. It wasn't missing anything that I was aware of but some of the speeds were incorrect (I get 10 Mbps from a provider it listed as only offering 1.5). Overall a valuable tool that needs improvement. I think 200 million is a pretty good deal considering the volume of data it promises to handle.

#10Seriously, we're going to report AT&T and Verizon "mobile data," seemingly at their maximum published speeds (i.e. impressive marketing numbers)? It would be a sad day when I have to resort to a data card from either of these providers--with their latency, data caps, and limited coverage--as my main source of "broadband."
