- The U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Monday unveiled some details of its broadband plan, which aims to speed up Web connections and make high-speed Internet available to more Americans

Its goal is to give 100 million households access to Internet connections that transfer 100 megabits of data per second.
The average U.S. Internet speed today is much slower -- only 3.9 megabits per second, according to the Internet monitor Akamai
