About time. Maybe the maps will be updated correctly and people can now see just how pathetic those ISPs have been.

Century Link advertises 12mbps in my town, charges you for 12 delivers 3 with the occasional 6.
I have both T-Mobile home internet and another wireless service. T-Mobile gives me up to 50, but averages closer to 18. The other wireless (WiPower) is 15.
Geeze. Where is this? I have multiple gigabit providers to my house.
Rural NM, south of Albuquerque.
We just got fiber, but so far I have not heard from anyone that has actually gotten it yet.
That’s rough and hopefully these revised maps will start to show that better.
Shit. they charged me for 9Mbps and delivered 0.5Mbps when I had them
They really should require it to be 100M symmetric. Slow upload speeds make it nearly impossible to use online storage.
This is why Xfinity just sent me a note saying they're graciously increasing my upload speed to 20mbps. How nice of them. 🙄
Fiber internet has spoiled me. 20mb would be unbearably slow, it is shameful that this is even considered to be the standard.
i literally cannot get internet slower than 100Mbps symmetric here in sweden lol, astounding that providers in the US are so reticent to improve speeds.
it reminds me of the american rail freight industry, it seems they would prefer to dismantle the entire infrastructure and become investment companies instead..
How about latency?
