ISPs Urge FCC to Adopt 100/100 Mbps Broadband Speed Standard

CEOs of Google Fiber, Allo Fiber and Ting Internet urged the FCC to update the definition of broadband standard to 100/100 Mbps in a letter posted Tuesday in docket 22-270. "American families today need a standard that will allow them [to] fully function in today’s society," the letter said: "An asymmetrical standard implies that entertainment use cases for the internet are more important than productivity uses that consistently require more upload bandwidth." Adopting the standard would also ensure "certain low-income and rural America will not be getting internet that is already antiquated the day it is installed," the CEOs said.
