Slightly off topic but I seriously hope the Dems have a good plan to tell the general public of the US, just how much Biden and his administration has done for good progressive legislation this far.

I just hope Ofcom will have a similar idea for the UK. Currently you only have a "universal service obligation" for 10Mbps, and if you can be provided by 4G then Openreach doesn't have to upgrade your old copper line. Large areas of my city are still copper only.
I'm out here living on 10 Mbps up / 1 Mbps down.
I hate living in LATAM.

Go get them FCC! Lets move into the future.
Me over here with 40mbps taking days to download games.
I hover around 3Mbps on download, often falling below 1Mbps during peak hours :-/
It's still enough to stream YouTube videos in 360p/480p.
40Mbps would be damn fast. For me, at least.
I usually get 5-10 Mbps download during peak times, which is enough for 720p YT and decent video calls. I really don't understand why people always need faster and faster internet. Although I just checked, and I'm getting 60 down just now, which is way more than I have ever seen.

Same. In a large city no less. With new apartments down the road, less than a quarter mile away, having fiber while we have DSL ffs in our whole neighborhood. No other choices for broadband. Fuck ATT.

Thanks Biden
What are people doing with this high bandwidth?
Silly question. Porn of course.

Look less then 2 years ago I was in the upper 20s at the best of times. Fiber rolled in. I got gigabit and its spoiled me very quickly. I'm not sure why I'd need more but I'm sure they'll find a reason eventually.
