As of June, 2013 over 93% of US had broadband coverage of at least 3mbps.

One cannot expect MS (or any business) to dumbdown their technology to fit less than 7% of the nation.

As an aside, over 91% had availability of 10Mmbps or greater.

Sorry for your tech limitations but it’s no excuse to rant on MS (and other businesses) for evolving their technology.

What qualifies the 93% as being coverage? Cell phone tethering or cell tower usage? Likely so. Very limited Bandwidth right? Uncle Gates store your data for you if you use a Tablet right? That is where MS is trying to force consumers to go and W8 is part of that agenda open your eyes.

Yes technically 93% of the US may have coverage of at least 3mbps available to them. Not how much a month can they actually use? Factor into that this weeks W8 900 MB Update. Hugesnet users would have to watch what W8 consumes both in upload and download very closely.

The Cable Companies are at a halt as far as expansion and AT&T does not upgrades anywhere unless it is likely a massive cable or SLICK failure. Hey I can get high speed here. I can call Ma Bell and order a Data circuit. Hundreds of dollars a month just to use W8? BTW a data circuit is not the same configuration as DSL. My dad used to work on data circuits.
