*I don't have broadband anymore!!! *I don't have a full 1Mbps up LOL

Federal Communications Commission 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission> (FCC) 
as of 2010, defines "Basic Broadband" as data transmission speeds of at 
least 4 megabits per second (Mbps), or 4,000,000 bits per second, 
downstream (from the Internet to the user's computer 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer>) and 1 Mbit/s upstream (from the 
user's computer to the Internet).^[3]
