Only 25Mbps and up will qualify as broadband under new FCC definition

Welcome to regulated mediocrity!

Now we have the bar set so low that you can rest assured that media companies will deliver.

3 up? I have 8 now but I bet I won't soon. All in the name of regulation. What year is this guy living in? This is the problem when government regulates without recourse, they will set minimum terms of service which result in stagnation and even higher prices for faster services.

this is like the years when I enjoyed the speed of ISDN and finally really slow and bad DSL because our local "regulated" phone company was meeting the legal requirements and going exactly no further. Wasn't until the cable company came along that I was even offered DSL above 3Mbps down.

25 Mbps is so ten years ago for most of the world. Just 3 Mbps upstream bandwidth is enough? That's just 300-350 kilobytes per second! How are you supposed to even transmit 1080p video with that little?

I think 100/20 would be more reasonable. Enough to utilize cloud services effectively, handle high quality media files and tasks like remote backup.
