    If I want faster speeds l can buy a better plan. This will just make my bill go up for capacity I don’t need.

    The article didn’t provide any reason for the increase either. How did they land on 100mbps and not 200? It feels bogus.

      That’s good for you, that you have the ability to buy a better plan. There are huge swaths of the US where they simply don’t have that freedom of choice.

      And they settled on 100mbps as the standard because that’s what it needs to be…a standard. Not a mandate that “all internet to every house shall only be 100mbps” but rather that 100mbps be the bare minimum that we are able to provide across the country.
