Net Neutrality

Wish 14Mbps was mediocre where I lived. But regardless, the most logical explanation is that a lot more people are using down than up bandwidth. Though that doesn't bode terribly well for the continued speed as more people adopt LTE (kind of like Cable modems).

Seems like everybody wants the term broadband...bud was getting a whopping 128k down on his "broadband satelite"

I thought in 2010 the FCC finally defined basic broadband as 4Mbps down 1Mbps up.

In terms of being a broadband service provider, how does a companys like Comcast get away with having this title with 250GB monthly cap. Isn't 4Mbps down = 1280GB per month (30 day) per broadband subscriber roughly. Seems like false advertising...then they want to sell IPTV and VOIP also on top of what they say they can't handle? Boy do I have alot of ocean front property to sell...with broadband...Time to let the Independant ISPs back in the game or be like Canada.
