Well, the other data they introduced and which isn't disputed supports the idea that broadband penetration is uneven. Just not at the widespread granular and detailed level that the faulty data purported to show.
You do make a reasonable point about usage and access. Which is more relevant depends on what you're trying to show. Access is whether you can get it at all while usage could well bring in economics as well.
It's a fair point about LTE. They don't seem to have included satellite either, which definitely gets used in rural areas where nothing else is available. I suspect though that neither of these would affect overall conclusions that much.
