If you have up to 25Mbps broadband speeds you no longer have broadband

How to save money on broadband.

It's official: some of the broadband services available to you aren't really broadband. So some of those Superfast Broadband, Fibre 2, Super Fibre and Stream services wouldn't be considered standard broadband services in the US and wouldn't be able to be marketed as such.

That's not me talking. That's the US Federal Communications Commission. This week, the FCC changed its official definition of broadband. The previous definition, which was 25Mbps download speeds and 3Mbps upload speeds, has been in place since 2015. But now it's been updated, and broadband now means download speeds of at least 100 megabits per second and upload speeds of 20Mbps.
