They likely did start with defining minimum standards. It just took providers two decades to stop stealing Federal broadband rollout funds, and actually do the rollout.
10 megabits you say? Hope that's fast enough in 2040 when it's finally installed.

The minimum standard that should be expected by carrier-grade services (which, by definition, carriers should manage) is five nines reliability.
Metronet connections should be one gigabit, minimum. Rural nets should be 10 megabits or better. Ideally a lot better.
Users shouldn't need to measure speed, the FCC should be imposing minimum conditions and policing it.
