I believe the current system allows for a providers bandwidth to be averaged in order to show the "overall" performance and service being delivered in order to satisfy the requirements. This creates the situation where low speed, low price plans get dropped in order to prop up the average. Then they ratchet up the speed of consumer plans to speeds that very few single family homes could ever saturate. Again, done to inflate the average. The FCC should add that the lower tier plans should be required to stay in place as to not taint the averages. No gaming the system,
Personally I see no need for anything more then what I subscribe to now, a 75 Mbps plan. I rarely max it out. The other plan offerings, starting at 300 Mbps, offer me no value at all. My provider keeps pushing me in that direction despite this.
