<b>Subject: </b>New minimum speed for US broadband
connections<br>
<br>
<br>
What should be the new minimum speed for "broadband" in the
U.S.?<br>
<br>
<br>
This is the list of past minimum broadband speed definitions
by year<br>
<br>
year speed<br>
<br>
1999 200 kbps in both directions (this was chosen as faster
than <br>
dialup/ISDN speeds)<br>
<br>
2000 200 kbps in at least one direction (changed because too
many service <br>
providers had 128 kbps upload)<br>
<br>
2010 4 mbps down / 1 mbps up<br>
<br>
2015 25 Mbps down / 3 Mbps up (wired)<br>
5 Mbps down / 1 Mbps up (wireless)<br>
<br>
2021 ??? / ??? (some Senators propose 100/100 mbps)<br>
<br>
Not only in major cities, but also rural areas<br>
<br>
Note, the official broadband definition only means service
providers can't <br>
advertise it as "broadband" or qualify for subsidies; not that
they must <br>
deliver better service.<br>
