Measuring Broadband America – A Report on Consumer Wireline Broadband Performance in the U.S., FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology and Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau

  • “This Report presents results of the first nationwide performance study of residential wireline (or “fixed,” as opposed to mobile) broadband service in the United States using measurement technology deployed in the consumer’s home, focusing on three technologies—digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, and fiber-to-the home. The study examined service offerings from 13 of the largest broadband providers1—which collectively account for approximately 86 percent of all U.S. wireline broadband connections—using automated, direct measurements of broadband performance delivered to the homes of thousands of volunteer broadband subscribers during March 2011.11 This Report focuses on major findings of this study, while a
    separate Appendix provides a detailed description of the process by which the measurements were made and describes each test that was performed. In addition, the Commission is making available the following resources: electronic copies of the charts included in the Report; data sets for each of the charts in the Report; resources regarding the underlying methodology by which the data was collected and calculated; tabular results for each test performed and data sets for recorded data for March 2011; and the complete raw bulk data set for all tests run during the testing period.1”
