The Federal Communications Commission has raised its internet speed benchmark to 100Mbps down/20Mbps up. This is up from the previous benchmark of 25Mbps up/3Mbps down, a standard which was last voted on over nine years ago. The motion to raise the speed benchmark to 100Mbps/20Mbps was first introduced in early 2022, but resulted in a 2-2 deadlock, which kept the benchmark at its old speed until now. With the benchmark rising, the FCC says that not enough is being done to give all Americans access to “advanced telecommunications capability.”
