Why not just jump it to a gig or more?Really? What is the average household doing to use up a gig worth ofbandwidth?MikeThats almost the same question we were asked at BT a dozen years agowhen moving from DSL -> FTTC when someone said, “but surely DSL is sufficient because its so much faster than dial.” The two of us survive just fine with 25Mbs even when we have a house full of friends. I mean it would be nice to have 100Mbs so that it's never a problem but the reality is that it just hasn't been a problem in practice. I mean how many 4k streams are running at the same time in the average household? What else besides game downloads are sucking up that much bandwidth all of the time?

The proposal would make changes to the Alternative Connect America Cost Model (A-CAM) program, with the goal of achieving widespread deployment of faster 100/20 Mbps broadband service throughout the rural areas served by rural carriers currently receiving A-CAM support.
