Intel has released a patch for intermittent Ethernet disconnections plaguing its latest controllers. It is just an EEE disabling workaround for now.

The FCC has instituted new broadband "nutrition labels," forcing ISPs to be more transparent about services offered.

Current worldwide internet bandwidth is said to be approximately 1 petabit/s, and this technology could almost double that over a single cable.

5 Gbps and 8Gbps services will cost $125 and $150 per month, respectively. Announcement comes in the wake of Google teasing 20 Gbps service tests.

Google currently offers 1 and 2 Gbps fiber services, but is going to “dramatically expand our multi-gigabit tiers,” in the coming months.

Netgear priced its new Wi-Fi 6E adapter at less than $100, but 6GHz support is extremely limited.

Company's support reps apparently incentivized to give customers false excuses and get them off the phone.

T-Mobile fulfilled its promise of fast speeds and attractive pricing, but the service died after two weeks.

Jared Mauch’s rural FTTH service quickly expanded from 1 to 30 customers and currently has 70. But he now has $2.6m of government funding to allow provisioning for nearly 600 customers.
