But then the ability to go from that to download 10GB of the latest patches from Microsoft or Apple, or the ability to upload large files for off-site backups or for friends/customers .... I don't know what I'd do without it ! And of course, the days of the buffering wheel of death when streaming 4K TV is long gone ... I can have multiple people in multiple rooms in myhouse streaming 4K and nobody notices.I would never, ever, go back to DSL. Even if they hiked the price 5x, I'dstill pay it.Coming back to the original question on this thread, my answer would be the minimum for 2021 should be 1/1. Anything less than that is a bit silly andwill soon be obsolete. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐On Saturday, 29 May 2021 04:50, Dan Stralka <mrsyeltzin () gmail com> wrote:But it is reality, it's just not your reality, Mike. Brandon's ISPcan provide that service.So should there be a more granular definition of speeds mandated basedon population density, last mile tech, etc?I was in the camp that you didn't need higher bandwidth than you'd normally find - I was happy on my 50/10 plan. Then my ISP upgraded me to a 300/50 or thereabouts and it was a night and day difference in getting things done. Just like your example of average utilization being in the single megabits per second, my average utilization is near zero. But when I need to move files I can burst to speeds that aren't embarrassing in2021.Higher bandwidth is both welcome and necessary. It doesn't have to be sustained throughout the contract to be required. The only question is how feasible it is, and I suspect it's quite feasible for larger players.Dan (end)On Fri, May 28, 2021, 22:33 Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net> wrote:That's not based in any kind of reality. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com From: "Brandon Price" <PriceB () SherwoodOregon gov>To: "Sean Donelan" <sean () donelan com>, "NANOG Operators' Group"<nanog () nanog org> Sent: Friday, May 28, 2021 5:21:53 PMSubject: RE: New minimum speed for US broadband connections100/100 minimum for sure.In our small neck of the woods, we are currently doing 250/250 for$45 and 1000/1000 for $60 no data caps.We have lost some grants on rural builds because "someone" in the census block claims they provide broadband..
