FCC proposes higher speed goals (100/20 Mbps) for USF providers

Sadly thus us repeating the same problematic data based on average usage by older Americans vs usage by younger people or those of us with several children. 

I agree with the average utilization but when it comes to those peaks my customers can finish their uploads or restores quickly when they do need it. If they are behind a limiter at 25m suddenly that FedEx or carrier pigeon seems best. 

Business I was at today says they need 40mbps
