"[B]roadband speed offerings to the average consumer continue to increase at a rapid pace, and broadband service providers generally are delivering actual speeds that meet or exceed advertised speeds."
Cable Internet was leading the way in average speed boosts.
That is one of the main takeaways from the FCC's latest "Measuring Broadband America" report, based on data provided by participating ISPs.
The FCC launched the programming to give consumers a more information on which to base their decisions about broadband.
The report found "significant growth" in advertised speeds, though the FCC said that was not "uniform" across all technologies and DSL continued to trail cable and fiber .
The FCC said the median download speed has almost quadrupled from 10 Mbps in March 2011 to 39 Mbps by September 2015.
