About time. Maybe the maps will be updated correctly and people can now see just how pathetic those ISPs have been.

Century Link advertises 12mbps in my town, charges you for 12 delivers 3 with the occasional 6.
I have both T-Mobile home internet and another wireless service. T-Mobile gives me up to 50, but averages closer to 18. The other wireless (WiPower) is 15.

File an FCC complaint. They are required to provide something like 80% of the advertised speeds on average otherwise they can get into hot water with FCC with big files.

Geeze. Where is this? I have multiple gigabit providers to my house.

Rural NM, south of Albuquerque.
We just got fiber, but so far I have not heard from anyone that has actually gotten it yet.

That’s rough and hopefully these revised maps will start to show that better.
