First refresh of minimums in eight years for the country that invented the internet

FCC chair wants to boost broadband standard to 100Mbps::First refresh of minimums in eight years for the country that invented the internet

At my house I get 500mbps. My store (40 miles away) gets 15mbps. I pay significantly less at home.

Not just that but you have to pay extra to avoid a data cap on the 15mbps line.

Datacaps are incredibly annoying, they are just a cash grab.

Absolutely. That’s exactly what they are.
