Note that the FCC recently redefined "broadband" to >=25Mbps.
Note that the term "broadband" has largely disappeared in last-mile ISP advertising. (I briefly talked to AT&T about it a la "I signed up for broadband, but am not getting anywhere close to 25Mbps", rep got vague about what was promised.)
This all may provide interesting consequences. By redefining, suddenly large swaths of the country which have & are generally satisfied with 3-20Mbps connections are suddenly "without broadband" and subject to renewed FCC bureaucratic campaigns to bring them out of such third-world conditions.
