Didn’t realize the minimum broadband definition was finally increased last month, though I agree that even 100 Mbps, and especially 20 Mbps upload, is keeping standards a decade behind what they should be. With how essential internet access is in the modern economy, particularly for low-income and rural areas that internet providers won’t voluntarily serve to the best of their abilities, it should really be regulated at the same level as other utilities.
