How fast should internet access be, to be considered “broadband”? The Federal Communications Commission wants to increase the minimum required speed for broadband, which it currently considers to be at least 25 Mbps upstream and 3 Mbps downstream, to 100/20 Mbps.
That minimum broadband speed has increased over the years and has not been updated since 2015. Now, the FCC is proposing that its broadband metric make a large jump to 100/20 Mbps.
