We do also in our MLS but in the big city it's a given nowadays that there are 2-3 options. My mother is in the country and just recently went from dial up to Satellite.
A lot is dependent on your term "High Speed". These change so quickly at times that sometimes it's best to not advertise it and let the buyers check out who supplies what. It's similar to a utility.
I don't consider a satellite high speed.
I have seen ads where the agent listed a satellite as high speed Internet.
In Central Virginia, I don't see Internet access addressed in online ads (at least on the websites I have visited).
Thank you for the responses.
And this is one reason why agents frequently don't advertise such things. Because someone will have their own idea about what "high speed" means, say, and that's inevitably the person that will get upset, at the least, and sue, at worst, if what they want isn't available.
This is one of those things that the buyer, or the buyer's agent upon their request, really should investigate before making an offer, to make sure that they understand what is meant by the term "high speed".

Kinda like saying gas heat when you have to order your propane tank refilled yearly because you have no natural gas line to the house.

Any internet service beyond "dial up" is considered high speed.

Not always. There are quite a few serious, work at home Techies in this area that would consider 3-10MBS slow and a DSL line historic. These guys use some serious band width and have all kind of flashing boxes to impress the ladies.
If we advertised every single feature about a home, the marketing would be unreadable as there would be entirely too much to review. If the buyer is that concerned about it, they need to do their due diligence. We can't know what's going through every buyer's head.
