"Broadband speed and availability", I assume.

Yes. It does show how demand for bandwidth is increasing exponentially.

You could almost replace their "speed bands" with 2.5G, 3G, 3.9G and 4G.

But remember that a lot of mobile data plans will also have caps 
(probably averaging 1GB a month - so that a DVD-quality movie is going 
to take 4 months, not merely 34 hours!)

Brings back memories of when downloading a big email attachment using 2G 
might take hours.

You may have heard today that AT&T have just bought T-Mobile (USA) in a 
bid to increase their mobile broadband capacity (and also make their 
transition to 4G more rapid).
