On: Americans don’t need fast home Internet service, FCC suggests

[smsm42]

If this is true, then the meaning of the article is "FCC was going to spend tons of money to bribe ISPs into upgrading everybody to unrealistically high speeds, but instead they decided they would spend slightly less money to have ISPs to upgrade everybody to still unrealistically high speeds, but slightly lower, which wouldn't be happening in any case because there's no enough infrastructure to support it".

I don't quite follow your argument. Which speeds are unrealistically high?

[smsm42 → speedz]

Looking at current offers and infrastructure, expecting everybody to be hooked up to minimum 25/3 line IMO is unrealistic.

Why do you feel that? You can get within spitting distance with ADSL, and that's without bonding. Plenty of other DSL flavors beyond that too.
