- tzs 3y agoISPs aren't statutorily required to meet the FCC's speed bare minimum. It is just that doing so lets them be counted as broadband and might qualify them for some incentives to deploy broadband to underserved areas. Also I believe that an ISP is counted as broadband by the FCC if they have some plans available that meet the FCC's minimums. They do not have to meet them with all plans.
