Most consumers don't do offsite backups (more than icloud syncs of a few photos or whatever, 20Mbps fine for that) and upload lots to youtube, I guess.
Most consumers don’t read books but that doesn’t mean we should get rid of the libraries.
The point of this definition of broadband is to guide FCC subsidies. They’re saying 100/20 is goal for what everyone should have in every single home and business in the country, and that it’s so crucial that the taxpayer should pay for it if need be.
Taxpayers pay for libraries too, despite most not using them. What's the point of the state or taxes if not to push society in a better direction?
20Mbps isn't even a lot.
We’re talking about you saying the FCC should define broadband as requiring gigabit upload speeds minimum.
I personally like libraries, but you have a point, maybe we should put the money that goes toward library taxes to better use.
Federal policy is not targeted at your personal use case. 20mbit up is an entirely satisfactory BASELINE for residential internet access in 2024. You’re so far into a bubble that you can’t even see it.
Not analogous. The poster was talking about suggesting an improvement and you about removing an existing service altogether.
