Weekly output: inflight WiFi, Visible’s prepaid Verizon home 5G, Uber’s travel ambitions, AT&T emergency response
Happy World Press Freedom Day to all who celebrate! Which should be all who don’t want to accept the lies of people in power.
I wrote an extra post for Patreon readers Wednesday explaining three fair ways that you can take one story idea and sell it more than once.
4/28/2026: Looking for Fast Wi-Fi on Your Next Flight? Pick an Airline With Starlink, PCMag
This was going to be a straightforward writeup of Ookla’s report about Speedtest measurements of inflight connectivity, but some details seemed just off enough to require follow-up questions.
4/29/2026: Verizon’s Visible Prepaid Brand Adds $300-Per-Year 5G Home Broadband, PCMag
This was going to be a a straightforward writeup of Verizon’s prepaid brand reselling Verizon’s fixed-wireless home broadband at a discount, but then I couldn’t get Visible’s site to show me the FCC-mandated broadband-facts label or even let me start a service order.
5/1/2026: Uber wants to be your travel agent, concierge, and personal shopper next, PCMag
I took a day trip to New York Wednesday to cover Uber’s Go-Get press event. This Amtrak run was not like any of the others I’ve taken earlier between D.C. and NYC because it featured infrastructure that hadn’t been first built by the Pennsylvania Railroad 90-plus years ago: the new Portal Bridge in the Meadowlands, which is replacing a janky old drawbridge that sometimes gets stuck open.
5/1/2026: For AT&T, Disaster Recovery Includes Flying COWs and a Robot Dog, PCMag
I spent a couple of hours in one of the parking lots next to the former site of RFK Stadium–it’s still weird to see nothing where that concrete donut had stood since 1961–to check out the exhibit of emergency-response hardware that AT&T had set up there.

This is a warning. Arstechnica doesnt put it in the headline. But "speed test" means data scraping your computer, from the metal out.
If you gave your PC to the local police they would find less info.
Its so "valuable" to techbros, they are spending a billion dollars to get it.
A "Speedtest" is a cavity search by chimps, and Trump funders want it bad.

Engadget: Downdetector and Speedtest have been sold for over $1 billion. “On Tuesday, Ziff Davis announced that it sold its Connectivity division, which includes Ookla’s Speedtest and Downdetector, to Accenture. The deal is worth $1.2 billion in cash.”

Accenture compra Ookla – El gigante de la consultoría se hace con Speedtest y Downdetector
En una operación que promete redefinir el control de los datos de conectividad global, Accenture ha anunciado la adquisición de Ookla, la empresa matriz de servicios esenciales como Speedtest y Downdetector. El acuerdo, valorado en 1.200 millones de dólares, otorga a la consultora tecnológica el acceso a la base de datos de rendimiento de red más grande del mundo y a la plataforma de monitoreo de caídas de servicios más utilizada del planeta (Fuente Accenture).
Esta adquisición se produce en una semana marcada por la inestabilidad digital, tras las caídas reportadas en Amazon, Anthropic y los problemas de servicios de Meta, lo que subraya el valor estratégico de poseer las herramientas que diagnostican la salud de Internet en tiempo real.
¿Por qué Accenture quiere a Ookla?
Para Accenture, esta no es solo una compra de aplicaciones populares; es una adquisición de inteligencia crítica:
- Datos de Red en Tiempo Real: Con Speedtest, Accenture ahora posee datos granulares sobre el despliegue de 5G, 6G y conectividad satelital en cada rincón del mundo. Esto es oro puro para sus servicios de consultoría a operadoras de telecomunicaciones.
- Downdetector como Sensor Global: Al controlar Downdetector, Accenture se convierte en el primer ente en saber cuándo falla un servicio en la nube, una red social o una plataforma bancaria. Esta «alerta temprana» será integrada en sus servicios de gestión de crisis para clientes corporativos.
- Sinergia con la IA: Accenture planea alimentar sus modelos de IA predictiva con los billones de registros de rendimiento de Ookla para ayudar a las empresas a predecir fallos de infraestructura antes de que ocurran.
¿Qué pasará con los usuarios de Speedtest y Downdetector?
Muchos entusiastas de la tecnología temen que estos servicios gratuitos se vuelvan de pago o se llenen de publicidad corporativa. Sin embargo, el CEO de Accenture, Julie Sweet, ha intentado calmar las aguas:
«Ookla seguirá operando como una unidad independiente. Nuestra intención es fortalecer sus capacidades de análisis, no alterar la experiencia de usuario que millones de personas consultan diariamente para verificar su conexión».
Un ecosistema digital cada vez más concentrado
Esta compra sigue la tendencia de 2026, donde las grandes firmas de servicios profesionales están adquiriendo capas de infraestructura de datos. Mientras que empresas como Apple lanzan MacBooks económicos y Qualcomm presenta chips Elite para relojes, Accenture ha decidido ser el dueño del «termómetro» con el que medimos toda esa tecnología.
Para los analistas, el verdadero valor de los 1.200 millones de dólares reside en la capacidad de Accenture para ofrecer informes exclusivos de mercado a gobiernos y grandes empresas, utilizando los datos de millones de pruebas de velocidad realizadas por usuarios comunes cada día.

#Downdetector and #Speedtest were sold to Accenture for $1.2B.
Expect these tools to lean more on the enterprise side (they want their money back, soon).
Who knows if ISP deals are done, since you can still speed test with Fast.com (from Netflix) and Cloudflare Speed Test.

I recently acquired a new Turris Omnia NG router from @turris to take advantage of my new 10 Gbit/s internet speed from my provider Init7. Now I was really curious about my actual speed ...
This led me to LibreSpeed (https://github.com/librespeed), an Open Source speed test tool which is working by default with PHP. Unfortunately the router isn't powerful to provide reasonable measurements because the chunk files to test the download speed are generated by PHP and openssl. This appeared to be a bottleneck.
So I was tinkering a little bit and created a NGINX backend for LibreSpeed which doesn't rely on PHP.
Now I have put together this in a GitHub comment: https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/issues/375#issuecomment-3769211254
(I still rely on PHP to get the IP address and to store the measurements though, but this is lightweight enough for the router.)
Try it out yourself: https://speedtest.momou.ch

Weekly output: inflight WiFi, Napster resurfaces, FCC chair’s “Build Agenda”
I spent yet another Fourth of July without going into D.C. to see the fireworks, because I had a logistically simpler alternative: a college friend within walking distance having his usual Independence Day gathering, with smaller-scale pyrotechnics in the backyard.
Patreon readers got a bonus post: a review of the first new TV we’d purchased since 2009, covering its utility with over-the-air ATSC 3.0 broadcasts and with streaming-video services.
6/30/2025: Planning a Trip? These Are the Airlines With the Speediest In-Flight Wi-Fi, PCMag
This post started as a writeup of a report by Speedtest publisher Ookla of the inflight WiFi of 30 airlines, then I used the opportunity to provide an update on United’s rollout of Starlink connectivity on regional jets and remind readers about how the price of inflight WiFi is trending towards zero.
7/1/2025: Napster Resurfaces As (What Else?) an AI Company. Can Its Agents Deliver?, PCMag
I got a heads-up about this weird relaunch of Napster as an AI service a week and a half ago but had no bandwidth to get to the story at the time. Fortunately, Monday had enough free time for me to try out Napster’s AI avatars and write a first-look post about that experience.
7/3/2025: FCC Chair’s ‘Build Agenda’ for Broadband Expansion Looks Familiar, PCMag
After watching FCC chairman Brendan Carr’s speech Wednesday afternoon outlining his plans to boost broadband availability, I realized that parts of it didn’t seem too different from previous initiatives by the commission. So I took a little time to check with a telecom-policy expert and filed this report Wednesday night.

I've stopped working with obsolete xDSL network devices. I have an ISP Fiber who installed Fiber to the CURB and Fiber to the Home simultaneously just to make money. They installed the obsolete fiber to the curb systems to milk people into making them think that xDSL is a way for the future.
Meanwhile on quite stable 4G Networks they give the speeds that you see in the screenshot. I can reach more than 40 MBit per second! I would rather be ad hoc on the internet, then have a slow obsolete 10 MBit connection over two copper wires.
I am finally enjoying the internet again when it comes down to speed
