• 200Kbps speeds are no longer considered "broadband." Until this point, the FCC has considered any service that produces 200Kbps speeds in the upload or download direction to be "high speed." With Wednesday's vote, that methodology is no more. Now, 768Kbps, which is the entry-level speed offered by major DSL providers like Verizon, will be considered the low end of "basic broadband," a range that extends to under 1.5Mbps.

May the internet always be free and allow you to travel anywhere you want, without censorship blocking your way..

But when censorship does happen. Make sure that those responsible, are locked in a dark cell for many years, to learn how it is, when you are forbidden from simple freedoms by greedy corporations.
