  1. The Future… What lies ahead ?

    Hey gamers, its been a tough time for everyone, not just this horrendous (and still going on) heatwave but financially as well for a lot of people. The gaming industry seems to have hit its toughest time yet, so many lay-offs and failed games, and its getting worse not better. The recent decision by Sony to go digital only from 2028 has hit like a lead balloon, what is totally pointless though peeps is the constant and stupid things you are doing, a blackout in a week of August where […]

  2. #FCC to end Biden-era rule that forces ISPs to list all their #fees

    The Federal Communications Commission will vote to eliminate a rule that requires Internet service providers to list all of their so-called "passthrough" fees on an easily accessible #broadband price label. The FCC vote could also make the price labels themselves a bit harder for #consumers to find.

    #ISPs routinely advertise prices much lower than those actually charged to consumers on their monthly bills. One method of raising monthly bill prices above advertised rates is to tack on fees that, ISPs claim, are used to offset charges imposed by local governments.

  5. Holy Cord Cutting Batman!

    Roku reports it has >100M streaming households worldwide, based on the number of distinct user accounts streaming on the Roku platform over a 30-day period in April. Roku is used by more than half of all US broadband households.

    Data from Comscore indicates that Roku generates more than three times the viewer engagement of the next leading television operating system in the United States. broadbandtvnews.com/2026/04/16 #Roku #TV #Streaming #Entertainment #Television #CordCutting #BroadBand

  7. Verizon's got a new internet plan, Home Internet Lite, for just $25/month. The catch? Slower download speeds. It's pitched for those with 'unreliable internet access,' but is trading speed for cost a deal or a trap? How much bandwidth are you willing to sacrifice for a lower bill?

  8. ISPs created so many #fees that #FCC will kill requirement to list them all

    Federal Communications Commission Chairman #BrendanCarr says #internet service providers shouldn't have to list every #fee they charge. Responding to a request from #cable and #telecom #lobby groups, he is proposing to eliminate a rule that requires #ISPs to #itemize various fees in #broadband price labels that must be made available to consumers.

  9. So you've paid for a gigabit plan, but it feels like dial-up? Turns out, your ISP is only *half* the equation. This CNET piece reminds us that decent modems and routers are the unsung heroes of fast internet.

  14. Looking at downloading MacOS 15 (Sequoia) - quite an upgrade from my MacOS 12 (Monterey). And boggling at just how many hours it would have taken to download the nearly 15GB update file on our home broadband before we upgraded to part fibre recently, and downloads increased tenfold ... #Broadband #ADSL #Fibre #PartFibre #Mac #MacOS #MacOS15 #MacOSSequoia #Sequoia #slowInternet #HomeInternet #HomeBroadband #slowBroadband

  15. So, last Wednesday from 18:00 through to early Saturday morning our #virginMedia #cableModem #broadband was pretty much unusable. 400ms ping times and 80-100% packetloss. All day Saturday it was fine, then crapped out again Sunday morning, at which point I booked an engineer visit for today.

    As soon as that was booked the connection went back to normal and stayed that way 🙄

    Doubtless engineer will turn up, declare No Fault Found and charge us £25 for the privilege

  16. I’ve never really given #Starlink much thought, but having used the #NBN for several years now, with never-ending downtime and intermittent speed issues, I feel like maybe it’s time to seriously look into the feasibility of this (once it’s available in my area, which is *supposedly* happening this year)… At AU$130 / month, the NBN is awfully hard to justify, given the quality of the network. | #broadband #AussieBroadband #Australia #GoldCoast #NBNCo

  17. Ah… Another day, another #NBN #outage. Looks like it’s affecting “The Big Three” capitals and their surrounding areas, too. Remind me again how it is even legal that critical infrastructure - like a national #broadband network - is allowed to have a complete failure every other night and / or every time there’s a tiny bit of bad weather? Could you imagine the repercussions for their garbage network, if #NBNCo had to answer to shareholders, instead of the #Australian tax-payer? | #Australia

  18. Oh wonderful, my #NBN is down again… Thank goodness #Australian tax payers paid *tens* of billions of dollars for a world-class, “next generation” *cough cough* bullshit *cough cough* #broadband network! Thankfully, my #Vodafone #5G connection is alive and well - which is a connection that hasn’t failed me in several years, I might add. | #NBNCo #Australia #mobiledata
