Thank you.

That suggests that 90% of USAdian households have access to wired 
broadband that is 10mbps down or better, which flies pretty hard in the 
face of the last numbers I saw, which said that no better than 60% had 
even DSL available to them as presently orderable service.

I wonder what the original FCC data actually said.  And meant.
