That's a wider range than I would have thought, but it makes sense. A
generation is often thought of as around 20 years, so it still fits.

The definition of a millennial that I've heard is someone who came
"of age" around the millennium. So if you were around 18-21 years
of age between 1995 and 2005, you are a millennial. You turned 18
in 1999, so I would say you qualify.

That's a *bit* on the high side, I would think.

My house runs between 10-15 Mbps sustained. When we do our

Me too. Just checked our traffic, and we've actually
got a 95th percentile of less than 500 Kbps (although
in November/December we were running closer to 1.5
Mbps). We can go way higher than that due mostly to
where we are on the network, but we can't (or don't
choose to) saturate our online-ness like a millennial.

I can get 30Mbps at home on my 450. I might hit 25-30

I guess I'm just not an average millennial. Meh.

I do realize typical residential pricing is around
$50/mo. What I’m saying is the “free” price was
ridiculous, especially since Google Fiber is so
holier-than-thou showing the other ISPs how it’s
done. It was either a stunt to get municipal
approval, or they honestly believed 10 Mbps was so
lame that most people would rather pay for gigabit.
No matter what their logic, increasing your minimum
tier from $0 to $50 is a helluva price increase. It
would certainly seem to offer the local cable and
telephone companies an opportunity to offer 10 Mbps
at something less than $50, maybe around $30. And
maybe get some cable TV revenue. Because lots of
people will still be happy with a meager 10 Mbps if
it’s affordable, no matter what the elites think.
Just like some people are fine with French’s mustard
instead of Grey Poupon, and beer instead of wine.

I am under the impression you are not familiar with
common metro broadband pricing.
Honestly.
I have a rather large spreadsheet of major North
American fiber / cable / DSL providers, contracts,
misc fees, etc.
Once you get past the "contract promo" pricing,
seeing 10Mbps for $45-55+ a month is far from
uncommon - especially for the cable cos, which sucks
when you see that 10Mbps stay at 2-4Mbps during peak
because of how vastly over provisioned much of those
networks are.
That said, their 1Gbps pricing (which they want
customers on, as gpon ports aren't free in the
strategic sense) really stoked a fire under most of
the providers asses.

Free was silly. But hiking the minimum tier from

mere 10 Mbps at America’s favorite price.
Comcast’s $10 price is more reasonable than
either $0 or $50.
