Default Do any of the realtors use broadband as a selling point for homes?

I don't see an entry for broadband on the MLS style sheets. But if a realtor
doesn't mention it, she should.

I would think you should be okay in most metropolitan areas. I'm in Houston
and www.speedtest.net just gave me the following numbers:

Ping: 11msec
Down: 24.89Mbps
Up: 3.45Mbps

Over a Comcast cable residential service.
