FCC Officially Approves Change In the Definition of Broadband

halfEvilTech writes As part of its 2015 Broadband Progress Report, the Federal Communications Commission has voted to change the definition of broadband by raising the minimum download speeds needed from 4Mbps to 25Mbps, and the minimum upload speed from 1Mbps to 3Mbps, which effectively triples the number of U.S. households without broadband access. Currently, 6.3 percent of U.S. households don't have access to broadband under the previous 4Mpbs/1Mbps threshold, while another 13.1 percent don't have access to broadband under the new 25Mbps downstream threshold.

i have no idea anything about this. however just because staliln said it, does not mean she didnt quote him. I didnt hear her say it, im also not looking for it in anyway.

On the flip side of the evil 2 headed coin there was that republican who gave a speech 10 years ago that some guy claimed he spoke at a white power rally. Turns out that wasnt quite true either. Yet people are still out there trying to ruin that mans rep with nasty slander
