TWO-THIRDS OF US BROADBAND ISN'T REALLY BROADBAND


According to a new report by the FCC, over two-thirds of the US broadband connections are not really broadband. Under the FCC's defintion of broadband, the connection must meet the requirement of 4Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream.

This means over 90 million people are surviving on substandard "broadband" and over 56% of those connections can't even reach a downstream over 3Mbps.

To check your speeds head on over to Speedtest.net and post your results in the comments. [FCC via Gizmodo]
