FCC Votes to Raise Broadband Definition to 100Mbps Down, 20Mbps Up: Slower speeds no longer count as broadband in the FCC's eyes.
extremetech.com/internet/fcc-votes-to-raise-broadband-definition-to-100mbps-down-20mbps-up
FCC Votes to Raise Broadband Definition to 100Mbps Down, 20Mbps Up
Quick Glance: Historic Increase in Broadband Speed by FCC
  • The FCC recently decided to significantly raise the minimum threshold for fixed high-speed broadband speed. The download benchmark is being increased from 25 megabits per second (Mbps) to 100Mbps, representing a massive 300% increase that is urgently needed in today's hyper-connected landscape.

  • Similarly, the minimum upload speed is seeing a substantial boost. The FCC agreed to raise it from 3Mbps to 20Mbps, which marks a significant 567% increase. The new minimum upload speed for broadband is now just under 5Mbps lower than the previous download metric.

  • The updated speed metrics are based on standards currently used in multiple federal and state programs, as well as consumer patterns and the actual offerings marketed by internet service providers.

  • According to the latest broadband audit, 24 million Americans do not have access to fixed terrestrial broadband connections (excluding satellite), including 28% in rural areas and 23% of people living in tribal areas. Additionally, 45 million Americans do not have access to both 100/20 Mbps fixed services and 35/3 Mbps mobile 5G-NR services.
