Measuring Broadband Performance

[Commentary] On July 19, the Federal Communications Commission released “Measuring Broadband America”, a report, the FCC notes, revealing that broadband providers have significantly improved accuracy in actual versus advertised broadband speeds during the past year and that consumers are subscribing to faster speed tiers and receiving faster speeds than ever before. The FCC surveyed more than 5,500 users in April. Overall, the 13 top US broadband providers, representing four-fifths of all U.S. landline broadband connections, are coming much closer to consistently delivering their advertised speeds.
