The FCC has redefined broadband by increasing the speed requirements to 100Mbps download and 20Mbps upload, quadrupling the previous benchmark of 25Mbps download and 2Mbps upload, in an effort to improve internet access and close the deployment gap in the United States.
The Federal Communications Commission has voted to raise the benchmark for broadband service, now requiring at least 100Mbps download speeds and 20Mbps upload speeds, replacing the previous 25Mbps/3Mbps standard. This decision reflects consumer usage patterns and aims to push for faster deployment of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans, particularly in rural and Tribal areas. The new standard could lead to potential regulatory actions by the FCC to promote competition and accelerate deployment, with a long-term goal of 1Gbps download speeds and 500Mbps upload speeds.
