A new study released by the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA) determined a family of four will require symmetrical broadband speeds of at least 2 Gbps by 2030 in order to adequately meet their needs.
Research commissioned by FBA and conducted by RVA LLC Market Research and Consulting found a four-person household today needs a connection offering download speeds of 131 Mbps and upload speeds of 73 Mbps. By the start of the next decade, this is projected to rise to 2.14 Gbps for the downlink and 2.04 Gbps for the uplink.
