The FCC's 25 Mbps broadband standard seemed fast in 2015 when it was approved. Seven years have passed since then, and the current management of the department believes that it is time to raise the standard of wired home communication to 100 Mbps. FCC Chairman Jessica Rosenworcel made such a proposal.

The agency believes that under current conditions the broadband standard should be 100 Mbps for download and 20 Mbps for upload, instead of the current 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps download. We also note that the increase in productivity is due to many factors, including the requirement for the construction of new networks.

100 Mbps upload, 20 Mbps download: new US broadband standard proposed by FCC chairman

Rosenworcel proposes increasing the national broadband standard to 100 megabits per second for uploads and 20 megabits per second for downloads, and discusses a range of evidence supporting the standard, including requirements for new networks funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act - said in today's message from the FCC. Rosenworcel also proposes a "Separate national target of 1 Gbps/500 Mbps for the future."

Rosenworcel expressed her desire to continue increasing standard Internet connection speeds in the future. At the same time, it proposed introducing more criteria for the "smart and timely" deployment of networks to ensure broadband data transmission. Rosenworcel noted that at some point in the future, the standard could be increased to 1 Gbps for downloads and 500 Gbps for downloads.

At this point, we don't know if the FCC chairman's initiative will get government support. Telecom companies are also unlikely to be happy about the standard change; as they will have to increase their investment in network development and related infrastructure to meet the standard.
