actually open for comment right now if you wanted to.

also the FCC defines high-speed internet for homes as 25Mbps downstream and 3Mbps upstead, but for wireless it is only 10mbps down and 1mbps up.

They're not necessarily wrong except for the problem of data caps. Most homes would do just fine with a 4G router and 1TB of data. -- nm - Ender Aug 17, 10:03 4
- I thought so too. Then we broke the AT&T 1TB data cap last month -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 17, 10:03 3
  - this sounds like a poll to me. shit, I can't poll. comcast's customer site is down. that's great. -- nm - amanda jones state university Aug 17, 10:12
  - too much porn -- nm - decline Aug 17, 10:06
  - I love not having a cap, even though we aren't necessarily super users it's nice to not have to worry about it. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 10:05
