New minimum speed for US broadband connections

Out of pure curiosity, let’s assume they COULD put an antenna on the roof…

What is the service? Bandwidth, latency expectation, cost?

Note that in almost every condominium or apartment complex I have heard of, they do NOT allow roof builds. This is why satellite TV in those areas require people to put an antenna on their patio, even if it’s half-blocked.
