Most consumers don't do offsite backups (more than icloud syncs of a few photos or whatever, 20Mbps fine for that) and upload lots to youtube, I guess.

- sneak 3y agoMost consumers don’t read books but that doesn’t mean we should get rid of the libraries.
- notquiteright 3y agoThe point of this definition of broadband is to guide FCC subsidies. They’re saying 100/20 is goal for what everyone should have in every single home and business in the country, and that it’s so crucial that the taxpayer should pay for it if need be.
- sneak 3y agoTaxpayers pay for libraries too, despite most not using them. What's the point of the state or taxes if not to push society in a better direction? 20Mbps isn't even a lot.
- notquiteright 3y agoWe’re talking about you saying the FCC should define broadband as requiring gigabit upload speeds minimum.
- ufocia 3y agoI personally like libraries, but you have a point, maybe we should put the money that goes toward library taxes to better use.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoFederal policy is not targeted at your personal use case. 20mbit up is an entirely satisfactory BASELINE for residential internet access in 2024. You’re so far into a bubble that you can’t even see it.
- ufocia 3y agoNot analogous. The poster was talking about suggesting an improvement and you about removing an existing service altogether.
