  • The FCC has changed the definition of broadband and increased speed requirements four-fold.
  • For an internet connection to be deemed broadband, it must now offer 100Mbps download and 20Mbps upload speeds.
  • The previous benchmark for broadband was 25Mbps download and 2Mbps upload.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has increased broadband speed benchmarks for the first time in almost 10 years. For an internet service to be deemed “broadband,” the commission now requires it to provide at least 100Mbps download speeds and 20Mbps upload speeds.
