FCC Unveils New Internet 'Nutrition Labels' to Clearly Show Fees, Speeds, Data Caps
-
New FCC "nutrition labels" for internet providers list all fees, speeds, data allowances, and other key details in a standardized format.
-
Read labels from top down - check monthly price, speeds, data throttling/prioritization policies, early termination fees.
-
Compare download/upload speeds to your household's internet needs - 25 Mbps basic, 50+ Mbps better, 100+ Mbps best.
-
Check for discounts and affordable connectivity programs that could reduce monthly costs.
-
FCC voted to raise broadband speed standard to 100 Mbps down/20 Mbps up, though 45 million Americans still lack that access.
