    Your connection is not up to snuff, the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday rewrote the definition of high-speed internet, and prospects.
    FCC
    1 Mbps to 3 Mbps upload speed increase in the rules that govern the Internet tasked with overseeing FCC, 4 Mbps to 25 megabits per second up to standard for broadband. Republican opposition criticized the move as though Commissioners Commissioners voted 3 to 2 in favor of change "overreaching." The FCC Congress to evaluate the broadband market, which uses broadband its 2015 progress report, published changes.

    The new definition effectively clocks in at least 25 Mbps Internet service subscription millions of Americans no longer a "broadband" means that users are considered. The average speed of 10 Mbps service in the United States. Using this new limit, Agency true broadband speed delivered in a timely fashion that is being set in his report.

    Agency reports 55 million Americans, or 17 percent of the population, lack of access to broadband services Advanced found. Access speed is not such a large portion of Americans who are in rural areas. Report, 53 percent of rural Americans 25 Mbps download speeds indicates that the lack of broadband. Americans living in urban areas, compared to 8 percent. The report also 20 percent of rural Americans 4 Mbps downloads do not have access to the previous standard that indicates.

    A controversial decision

    This move once again selected by the Republican-controlled Congress, two Republicans on the commission, Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly, the Chairman Tom Wheeler, a Democrat appointed by President Barack Obama has pitted. Wheeler definition of change required for high speed users are increasing demands of broadband providers claim that the marketing claims that sense is an aspirational target.

    "Our challenge presents itself to hide behind the rhetoric of lobbying, but not to recognize," Wheeler said in the meeting. "Our challenge for the fact that help is available."

    But the FCC on a cross of two rival organization called the move Agency and argued that the new standard is arbitrary. Pay broadband is considered a better judge about the services that customers look at the original purchase, he said.

    "Fixed 25 Mbps can be purchased seventy-one percent of consumers - more than 70 million households - the choice, no," he said.

    FCC adopted in 2010 to 4 Mbps for downloads and 1 Mbps for upload to the previous definition, the broadband broadband progress report "insufficient".

    Strong opinions on both sides

    Consumer groups welcomed the report's findings.

    "FCC's broadband market is long overdue reassessment," Edyael Casaperalta, internet rights partner in the Public Knowledge, said in a statement. "For too long, the FCC for broadband is the side with the old standard, and as a result of market analysis outdated increased rapidly."

    Communications Workers of America union updating this standard will create more jobs, arguing that appreciated the effort.

    "Our country's economic strength and social welfare - as well as the future of good jobs in telecom sector - the quality of our communication networks and the ability to lead the world, and today's action by the FCC leadership will come about that move us forward, "the union said in a statement.

    But conservative groups derided the move.

    "This sudden its net neutrality regulations insufficient to justify the FCC announced the appointment, since 2010, 706 reports of" playing political games, "Berin Szoka, TechFreedom, Washington, DC-based think tank, said the president generally support the efforts of the broadband providers.

    Net neutrality Foundation for war?

    Research FCC commissioners voted broadband net neutrality fight new regulations and state laws to address go around and build their own network of local municipalities to advance the Agency's intention to set up a is. (Net neutrality is a principle of treating all Internet traffic.) The FCC's actions justify, less competition, more stringent guidelines as speed broadband industry believe the paint.

    "The ultimate goal is to regulate the broadband market new, virtually unlimited authority to seize," said during Thursday's meeting at the agency. "A thriving market for back health agency can regulate it should be found to have failed."

    Net neutrality debate in the heart of the Telecommunications Act would reclassify broadband as a Title II service provision in the new rules. The FCC re basically the broadband infrastructure for traditional telephone networks will allow to implement the regulation. Net neutrality advocates strong legal ground as a way to put new rules in a new relationship, while the major Internet service providers, including conservative Republican opponents say would stifle investment in the network.

    FCC also building or expanding broadband network that prohibit municipalities from North Carolina and Tennessee state laws will replace the two is set to rule on requests.

    Agency net neutrality proposal and in its February 26 meeting will vote on both municipal broadband initiative.
