RE: New minimum speed for US broadband connections

[Brandon Price <PriceB () SherwoodOregon gov>]

100/100 minimum for sure.

In our small neck of the woods, we are currently doing 250/250 for $45 and 1000/1000 for $60 no data caps.

We have lost some grants on rural builds because "someone" in the census block claims they provide broadband.. Not hard 
to put an AP up on a tower and hit the current definition's upload speed.

I get a chuckle when the providers tell the customer what they "need"...

At $50/month or less?

Maximize number of households of all demographic groups.
