FiOS dominates as FCC measures actual Internet speeds

For the first time ever, the FCC has collected data (PDF) showing real-world speeds that Americans receive from their Internet providers. And the news is pretty good! Or, perhaps, it&amp;#8217;s pretty bad!
Advocacy group Free Press blasted the results, released today. &amp;#8220;No matter how industry tries to put a positive spin on these results, the report shows conclusively that many Americans are simply not getting what they pay for,&amp;#8221; said research director S. Derek Turner in a statement. &amp;#8220;This study indicates Comcast, Cox, and Verizon FiOS largely perform well, but other companies like Cablevision, AT&amp;amp;T, MediaCom, and Frontier all fail to deliver their customers the quality of service promised.
&ldquo;In every other industry, giving your customers less than what they paid for is a very serious offense. ISPs should be held to the same standard, no matter how much they try to spin their way out of it.&rdquo;
