FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps

In the linked pdf, it does mention the benchmarks.

2015/current standard is 25/3 Mbps.
Proposed increase to 100/20 Mbps.
Future goal is 1000/500 Mbps.

And really, 20 mbps at the bottom tier for broadband isn’t all that unreasonable. We’re talking about the floor level here.

20mbits at bottom tier would be fine, but there are currently top tier cable plans, 1gbps down and still only 10mbps up. Upload speed needs to scale at least proportionallly, if not symmetrically.
