After how ajit pai shilled the fuck out of the chair position I don’t know if I can ever take it seriously again.
Fuck ajit pai, of course.

You know he’s not still Chairman right? That’s why I said she not he?
Yes that’s shit.
But also on top of that 25 really means maybe 15, because they also don’t require them to provide the bandwidth they advertise to you.
Yes. We need the numbers to be minimum bitrates and we need at least a 90% uptime for that minimum. If you could rely on your bandwidth to be a specific rate all the time you could pay for less and everyone could get more without more infrastructure upgrades.
I wouldn’t call this speed okay even in 2012
…that’s the standard? wtf? 100mbps is a bit slow but would make sense, but 25???
I love even crazy tech nerds say this shit. 100mbps is more than enough for the vast majority of families. Unless you constantly have 5 or 6 streams running concurrently you’ll never use more than that outside of the occasional video game download.
Raising the standard enables new uses of technology.
🙄
It’s not though. You’re taking marketing claims at face value, assuming the customer consistently sees that bandwidth with few to no glitches and low latency. You’re assuming bandwidth isn’t sucked down by ads and trackers. Doing the math in ideal numbers makes it look sufficient, but actually using it highlights that it’s not
I’ve lived on 100mbps quite easily for many years. I have gbps available and choose to save the $10. You are grossly exaggerating. Comcast and FiOS have been reliable well over 10 years now.
Thats good, 25/3 speed is fine for one person, not so much for a household.
Absolutely not. It depends more on what you’re doing, rather than number of people, anyways. One person uploading a video is going to use 99% of the available upload bandwidth.
