The Federal Communications Commission publishes a more useful answer: a breakdown of how much bandwidth specific activities actually require, and a baseline definition of &quot;broadband&quot; the agency has updated as households have added more devices, more video calls, and more simultaneous streams to a single connection. Matching a plan to real use — rather than guessing upward &quot;to be safe&quot; — starts with those numbers.</p>
