I can't stand this guy anymore than the next guy, but I agree that 25Mbps is a decent "base speed". You can still visit any site in an instant and stream HD video.

Verizon.
Too low...I thought this was America? 100M overkill? If anything we should be aiming for 1G in every home.
The only land line availability i have is 768kb down 128kb up...and att wont replace the phone lineI HATE you guys... guess what?? The only thing I can get here is 6Mbps down and 512Kbps up. 25Mbps would make me giggle like a schoolgirl.
Same boat, except my city is 30k , but also pretty developed (we have a 20+ roller coaster theme park within walking distance). However my internet choices are...18Mbit DSL or up to 2Gbit/s Comcast....so, it's pretty much "comcast or nothing".He's gonna have to stoop lower than that to make US broadband options look good. I'm in a developed neighborhood off of a heavily-trafficked main road within the city limits of a town of ~130,000 people and AT&T can only sell me up to 18 Mbps internet. I can get Comcast 360 Mbps all day long, probably even gigabit, but Comcast is my only option for anything above 18 Mbps and I'd be surprised if I could even get that 18 Mbps consistently since it would be over a POTS line.
I just ran a mobile wireless speed test and it was 12 down / 9 up Mbps with an 80 ms ping 40 miles away! LOL. NOT AN OPTION.
What a tool.
Too low...
10Gbit ethernet cards are sub $50 on ebay. Home lan is 10Gbit and I paid about $320 for my switch. I just picked up some Gen3 Mellanox (connectx-3) cards for like $22 a pop, SFPs for under $5 a pop and will be wiring up wife's desktop because I plan to dump my legacy 1G switch. It's only useful really for POE/wifi access points.
I don't have much faith they won't be replaced by new clowns.Not to worry friends. These clowns will be out of the White House here in a few years.
For many people it's not just the crap speeds,, but also the newer and seemingly increasingly more stringent bandwidth caps...

Comcast Gigabit Pro . . . they waived all fees and paid the over 10k to pull fiber to the demarc and then also in my house to my office as well . . . .
Everyone is going to have diffrent needs but the standard should be 100mb without question.
For as much as we pride our self on our tech advancements we sure do a good job of not getting it into our people's hands.
Personally I have 2 4K televisions, 2 google homes, a bunch of smart devices, 2 external cameras running through an Arlo, 2 tablets for VR, 2 Xbox consoles, 2 desktops and 2 laptops. My watch switches to Wi-Fi when I am home.
I use a TON of data just in updates and remote access. Not to mention my plex when I am out and about.
For me 25mb would be impossible.
On 250 its ok.
I know people with kids who have more crap on their Wi-Fi and they complain 200 isnt enough and for the average American family I can safely say 25 isn't enough.
Att doesn't even offer me 25 mb lol 3 up 20 down is the fastest I can get.......and I live 300 feet from their building.
we are winning... coal jobs are back...and the horse and buggy companies are on the rise too.... BETA MAX is about to launch this fall. we pay RUSSIA billions to get us into space.... WE ARE SO WINNING!!!Our country has a boner the size of a galaxy for proclaiming that we're numero uno and yet we're content to settle on the technology of yesterday
Huh
You don't need to move to Austin ($$$$), I live in the county near Texarkana,TX and Comcast has gigabit plans. I don't like caps but I never hit 1TB a month anyway.. . . . . In the meantime ... move to Austin for Google Fiber or something. I hear that's a pretty cool spot to live.
I dont know, i have 25mb.down dsl and its perfectly adaquate for us. I can play a game, my wife can steam video and its fine with room to spare.

Nonsense. You're not typical, and even you don't need 100mbps.
Whatever the cost to me is of this "give everyone moah bandwidth to watch pron with" is, I don't want to pay it.
The previous "clown" was doing very well considering he was a lobbyist for the cable industry, weird how that turned out.And replaced with what? Look at the options. Either go socialist or whatever else is on the plate. I would go with whatever else.
Sorry, but it isn't fine. Try to download any modern game and see how long it takes. Try having a few people watching Youtube, see how it works. 25mbps is far from enough for today's usage.
