Slasdot quotes a story about US broadband usage tripling in 3 years sine
2001.

it would be useful to know if there were any stats for NZ. The FCC report
on which the story is based defines broadband as " speeds exceeding 200
kbps in both directions", so a lot of telecoms jet* offerings would not
count.

a tad misleading tag line really, usage hasn't tripled, subscribers has.

Does anyone other than Telecom really consider 256/128 broadband?
