Oh the fucking irony.

well, comcast already basically has a monopoly in my area. Only other option i have is a abysmal AT&T dsl connection.

Aside from the part where they won't actually do what they agree to, and all their other bs. Five years to get 25/3 is not acceptable.

I totally understand that, if they actually did it, it would take years to actually reach 100% 25/3. But the main thing is that 25/3 is what we need now, 5 years from now we will need higher down, likely much higher upload.

Basically California is saying we want you to be 5 years behind minimum everywhere, which if you are literally talking almost 100% coverage, is reasonable. But they should be expected to have much greater than 25/3 for 80% of people.

They will just use this as an excuse to not upgrade like they should be in high density areas they are the monopoly in. Or even more likely, upgrade well beyond 25/3 to save upgrade costs in the long run, but only provide customers 25/3 unless they pay tons of money. Then later when the requirements go up, unlock the faster speeds.

Like they are really going to change what they have been doing for the past decade and loose their 95% profit margins.
