Sadly thus us repeating the same problematic data based on average usage by older Americans vs usage by younger people or those of us with several children. I agree with the average utilization but when it comes to those peaks my customers can finish their uploads or restores quickly when they do need it. If they are behind a limiter at 25m suddenly that FedEx or carrier pigeon seems best. Business I was at today says they need 40mbps - Jared Sent via RFC1925 complaint device

Most households have no practical use for more than 25 megs. More is better, but let's not just throw money into a fire because of a marketing machine.

The Fiber Broadband Association estimates that the average US household will need more than a gig within 5 years. Why not just jump it to a gig or more?

The Federal Communications Commission voted [May 19, 2022] to seek comment on a proposal to provide additional universal service support to certain rural carriers in exchange for increasing deployment to more locations at higher speeds. The proposal would make changes to the Alternative Connect America Cost Model (A-CAM) program, with the goal of achieving widespread deployment of faster 100/20 Mbps broadband service throughout the rural areas served by rural carriers currently receiving A-CAM support.
