A 4x increase for download and a 7x increase requirment for upload.
That’s a pretty solid improvement, honestly. They also have plans on whne to increase it to 1Gbps down/500Mbps up, so it seems like they are taking it seriously.
It is long overdue, as the last update was 2015, when a democrat was President. The GOP refused to do it, and it took some time to seat a new FCC head due to Republican obstruction.
Gigabyte is coming, just not yet. This is a fine incremental step.
It’s interesting. I have a remote place (not where I live) in the least populated, podunkest county in the state (which is saying something). And we were still able to get fibre and 50Mbps out there (and it could be higher, but not really worth the extra money since it’s rarely used).
Still within a couple hours of a big city, though. Guessing you’re further away than that, or something?
He is right though on megabits to megabytes. Internet speed is advertised in bits/s where files and transfer speeds are usually shown in software as megabytes/s
100Mb/s is still pretty abysmal.

It’s long overdue and gigabit should be standard

We should’ve had it when we paid for it, instead of telecom execs pocketing the money.

Gigabit
lol I’ve never had anything over 12Mb/s. Currently have 8Mb/s, which costs roughly half than what I use to pay for 500kb/s
I would love to have 100Mb/s. Hell even half that.
Satellite?
DSL
I’m so sorry.

The 500kbps was 15 minutes outside of a metro area of 2.5 million lol
It was decades of CenturyLink making sure no one else moved in on their turf.
Where I’m at now the fiber is a couple of miles away and no cable, but 8Mbps feels lightning fast after CenturyLink lol
That’s enough to watch exactly one 1080p 30fps stream on YouTube and literally nothing else.
That’s why I stream 720p when I can lol
100Mb/s is 800Mbps. This is 25Mbps to 100Mbps so 3.125mb/s to 8.33mb/s
