The U.S. House of Representatives has passed The Broadband Census of America Act . The legislation is intended to provide more detailed measurements of broadband availability in the United States. Currently, the FCC considers your entire ZIP code to have broadband access if a single house has anything above a 200Kbps connection.
The Broadband Census of America Act, approved by the House Tuesday, would require the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to collect information on the number of broadband subscribers in each postal ZIP code. It would also require the FCC to separate broadband service into speed tiers when it reports broadband availability in annual reports, instead of classifying everything above 200Kbps as broadband.
