Considering speeds are still pretty awful, I'm not sure it is something to really celebrate... it is maybe a good start, but it is pretty late.

Considering speeds are still pretty awful, I'm not sure it is something to really celebrate... it is maybe a good start, but it is pretty late.
- 0xy 6y agoAccording to Speedtest the average US speed is 165 down 62 up, or to put it another way it's enough for the average household to stream SIX simultaneous 4K-quality streams while also uploading photos and video chatting with friends. How is that "pretty awful"?
- th0ma5 6y agoWhat's the spread tho?
- th0ma5 6y agoSo I mean I went here https://www.speedtest.net/global-index https://www.speedtest.net/global-index ... and it is basically average broadband speed... I mean... that excludes pretty much everyone without access to broadband. And doesn't say anything about caps, which, let's face it, reduces your monthly throughput to an instantaneous average well well below average, and approaching dialup speeds. All of these issues... access, caps, average vs. median vs. minimum vs. maximum speeds... are all things that would be handled by regulation.
