That's a fight you're going to lose; you might as well try to convince people to only use "bandwidth" in its original RF meaning.

Not necessarily. Marketing speak has a short live. As soon as something better than broadband becomes commercially available, "broadband" as a marketing term will fade, just like "multimedia computer" and "high density floppy disk".

Regardless of whether it's a losing battle or not, I expect LWN to respect its readers. If I want to read reviews peppered with marketing speak I can read PC Magazine instead.
