Lies, Damned Lies, and Internet Speeds
Summary: The FCC's July 2012 Measuring Broadband America

advertised speeds.

ISPs have a bad habit of promising to deliver Internet speeds they
actually can't deliver. But, according to the U.S.'s Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) latest ISP Internet report, Measuring Broadband America,
A Report on Consumer Wireline Broadband Performance in the U.S. ISPs are
getting better at residential Internet broadband.
.
The FCC found that participating broadband providers, actual download and
upload speeds were over 80 percent of advertised speeds. Just over 80% is
a C in my school, but the ISPs are doing much better than they were last
year. In 2011, the average ISP delivered 87 percent of advertised download
speed during peak usage periods [weeknights between 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm
local time]; in 2012, that jumped to 96 percent. In other words, consumers
today are experiencing performance more closely aligned with what is
advertised than they experienced one year ago.
.
The researchers also found that the Average peak period download speeds
varied from a high of 120 percent of advertised speed to a low of 77
percent of advertised speed. This is a dramatic improvement from last year
where these numbers ranged from a high of 114 percent to a low of 54
percent.
.
Five ISPs routinely met or exceeded their sustained advertised peak
download rates. These were, from highest to lowest: Verizon Fiber),
Cablevision, Comcast, Mediacom, and Charter. The worse, and it was by a
wide margin, was Frontier (http://www.frontier.com/).
