Like you say, it is fine at what it's supposed to be: low-level internet access. Almost like 'emergency' access. But labeling it as 'broadband' takes advantage of a term that, though not legally defined, has connotations of a better product not on offer. I'd love to spend some time make this information more 'accessible' (the dreaded word) for consumers. Done well, this could be a pretty important campaign.
