Re: WHAT? said by SysOp:"allowing the FCC to highlight speed underperformers who've then rushed to correct shortcomings"
I didn't know there was a federal minimum requirement for broadband. No Federal minimum, but consumers should get what they are paying for, and be informed when their ISP advertises one thing and provides another.
said by SysOp:What are some examples of such FCC policy decisions that needs real-world data on speedtest? CableVision is a case in point. I pay for 50/8 and I get:
Consistently.
This is a direct result of the FCC speed test results.

Da Bronx | Pretty close to 50, certainly not bogus. And this is to DC, much further than Clifton NJ, right across the Hudson river here.

| sweet... next time double your up/down size - it should equal or exceed your expected speed to get a more accurate reading that mitigates your ISP's speedtest cheating boost cache. >5mb/sec is impressive... about 300% more than I get stuck at 1.2  |
