  What’s that gonna be, 1 mbps? There is no way ISPs will just do that.

    The article says the law requires 25 mpbs for 15 bucks and 200bps for 20 bucks.

      Man, 25 is like nothing nowadays with everyone in the family having a smartphone. Maybe for a single person who only does Netflix?

    Broadband as a label requires certain minimums in speed. That internet package is going to be a good deal. Wouldn’t be surprised if the ISPs find other ways to make it annoying though.

      They’ll make people jump hoops to get to it probably.
