The FCC said Thursday that it will release a report that will detail the broadband speeds offered by Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Verizon, Cablevision, CenturyLink, Frontier, and other broadband ISPs on July 19.
Its Measuring Broadband America Report 2012 will be released at an open meeting in at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. The commission said it will also release a progress report from its Wireless Telecommunications Bureau on efforts to use broadcast white space spectrum to launch new wireless broadband services.
Last summer, the FCC released a report that found that Cablevision and some other ISPs were failing to deliver high-speed Internet connections during peak hours that matched advertised speeds. The report sparked an ad campaign from Verizon that poked fun of Cablevision's broadband speeds, and led to Cablevision filing a false advertising suit that it later settled with Verizon.
The FCC report will be based on data that it gathered from meters installed in the homes of subscribers from the nation's largest broadband ISPs.
