Well FCC doesn't control the entire world, so it doesn't matter what they classify things in the US. Other countries might "look" at the example, and then likely dismiss it for any reason. Here I'm paying $60 + an extra $30 for unlimited, being the cap is a ever so blessingly kind 70GB. I'd totally love ISPs to bump up the speed but that actually means, them making an effort to build into places that wouldn't net much benefit.
Being in Canada and a small town at that, I'm at a very low priority to even get past my 15/1. I'd love to have my 15/10 as it's supposed to be rated, but being too far I'm lucky I get the full 15 at least. Also anyone ranting about having 100Mbps+ from a CABLE provider, need to understand it's a shared connection. Cable isn't a single line run to your home, in the same manner as DSL is for connections. So yes you have higher speeds, but you also share the load with anyone else on it too.
I think TechSpot should do a Cable vs DSL vs Fiber comparison, so people would stop making a fuss over it. Just everyone makes the same mistakes, mentioning their cable connection is so slow.
