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.

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?

Last Monday (22nd) I woke up to no internet. #NBNAus came out the next day and discovered the cable to my house had been eaten through by something (mice/rats most likely) and was buried deeply where it couldn't be accessed to fix.
I heard a rumour they were supposed to come out and dig a hole yesterday but still no sign of them.
Luckily we were away for a few days but the rest of the time I've been working via my phone hotspot - not ideal, so now I'm just waiting and hoping this won't last forever.
I think I'll look into connection backup options once I get my access back.

The FCC takes aim at broadband data caps | PCWorld
"it’s important to note that this new FCC inquiry covers both standard “landline” internet access and mobile access, the latter of which the Commission has been more hesitant to regulate over presumably justified limits to manage ballooning wireless traffic on limited spectrum. It’s a big change in the scope of the FCC’s authority."

Looking at downloading MacOS 15 (Sequoia) - quite an upgrade from my MacOS 12 (Monterey).

I had an unusually space-centric news week, which led me to think anew about when I could next get on a plane to Florida (or Texas) to see a large rocket launch in person instead of on a screen.
6/4/2024: Sorry, Cable: Fiber and 5G Home Internet Win the ISP Popularity Contest, PCMag
A year after the American Customer Satisfaction Index documented a dramatic gap in subscriber approval of fiber broadband compared to cable, a new ACSI survey found that people using fixed-wireless Internet also voiced more contentment with their connectivity than cable users.
6/5/2024: Boeing’s Starliner Finally Launches With Astronauts Onboard, PCMag
This post would have been shorter if Starliner’s first crewed launch had happened last month as originally scheduled, but each delay gave me an excuse to write a little more background about this launch, NASA’s commercial crew program and the history of Atlas rockets.
6/6/2024: T-Mobile’s Home Internet Backup Plan Kicks in When Your Broadband Goes Out, PCMag
After I filed my recap of T-Mobile’s announcement–which also covered a new Opensignal report about the rise of fixed wireless–I read Jon Brodkin’s report at Ars Technica and realized he’d unearthed an important issue with the carrier’s pitch. So I sent in an update to my editor from my phone while on line to get my first in a series of small plates at the NOAA Sustainable Seafood Celebration.

I started gathering string for this story back in February when I traveled to Vilnius, Lithuania to moderate a panel at a financial-technology conference there and get an introduction to the country’s fintech sector (with local hosts covering most of my travel expenses). Then I had to quiz an industry analyst, after which watching a panel at Web Summit Rio gave me another angle to look into.

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
-
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
-
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
