Will they also change how they define a region? At one point, I thought so long as an ISP service a single customer in a zip code(?), census tract(?), some region definition, the ISP could make claims to offering that tier of service everywhere.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoThe service regions are kind of a government mandated monopoly for who can offer service where. However, the FCC is now requiring automated speed testing so if you say you can offer 100/100 symmetrical you have to prove it. The FCC can pick any customer and say "prove this customer can get the service they are paying for" -- for us, that means installing a cloud connected router that automatically connects and tests. Apparently the fines are pretty gnarly...
