WV BROADBAND COUNCIL VOTES TO SET STANDARDS ON BROADBAND SPEED - Frontier Widely Opposes Move

(03/08/2013)
The WV Broadband Council has voted to set standards on a broadband speed in West Virginia, widely disputed by Frontier, who is saying service will be blocked to 85,000 locations.

At issue is a lack of defining what a real broadband speed is, allowing providers to sell "high speed" or "broadband" that has low performing speeds, particularly in rural areas.
