   I just read that the Biden FCC bumped up the US "broadband" definition to 100/20 Mbps minimum. My rural-edge suburban Xfinity service has been something like 250/15 for years, so I just tested again and it's now magically 350/25 without any hardware changes (I own my own modern and router).

   Some of this may also be due to Verizon offering wireless Internet in our area, but cell service is so awful here that I'm guessing it would be a joke.

     @thomasfuchs you'll likely get magically upgraded to 100/20 because otherwise your ISP is going to lose out on some of that sweet sweet federal funding.
