Add "Comcast" to that boat. I did some of the Internet speed tests out there — Verizon, Ookla, AT&T, MegaData — and all gave me about 22+ mbps up, 6 down.
Which, honestly, is all I need, because I don't stream videos to my computer (and really don't want to pay for that much data, anyway), but it is kind of creepy.

By this new definition, my Internet service from AT&T U-Verse would no longer qualify as "broadband" because it tops out at 18Mbps.
Tons of AT&T and Verizon customers may no longer have “broadband” tomorrow
25Mbps minimum would leave 19% of US homes without broadband access.

27 up, 4 down on CenturyLink/Qwest.
Having gotten rid of our cable in favor of Netflix/Hulu/Tunnelbear for 1/10th the cost (and switching the company phone to VOIP via Vonage), having broadband is… sort of critical for Casa Testerman. 🙂
Well, considering we are still pretty much in the Mbps ghetto, this is like quibbling over the extra weevil in the gruel. If broadband was pegged at 50+ Mbps by the FCC, then we might actually be talking about something, but the capitalist system just doesn't react that fast to change.
