"Customers shouldn't have to think about their WiFi: It should just work. By including eero devices with every new plan, we're making it easier for customers to get set up quickly and get strong, fast coverage throughout their homes."

In the fintech industry we can link latency directly to profit and money. If I have lower latency than the competition, I can get to the better deals, I can make the better deals.

The firm's study, 'North American Fiber Broadband Report: FTTH Review and Forecast 2026-2030,' indicates that nearly $200 billion will be spent on fiber over the next five years, highlighting a significant investment in fiber-to-the-home services.

Eight of the municipal networks studied beat their local provider competitors in median upload speed. Sherwood Broadband - in the town of the same name in Oregon - was the only one to beat its local competitor in median download speed.

A router is the hub that sends internet traffic from the modem to every connected device. Even with a fast plan, an outdated or weak router can throttle home internet speed, causing buffering, lag, and slow loading times. This often shows up when multiple people stream, game, or join video calls at the same time.

Our 5G+ service is now available to millions of customers across the UK, and uniquely, it's available to everyone on O2 across all Plans - unlike other networks. The upgrade boosts performance in busy areas, including major venues that host big crowds, benefiting both residents and businesses.

The goal of the new USTelecom program is to show consumers, businesses, civic leaders, and policymakers why maintaining legacy copper for the small portion of end users is not an efficient approach. A key part of this is explaining why modern technology is better.

For any IT department, these four words are the beginning of a familiar, often frustrating, journey. In our modern world, where business success is built on distributed applications and hybrid cloud architectures, the network is the circulatory system. When it fails, everything grinds to a halt. Yet, despite its critical importance, it often remains a black box-a source of blame that is difficult to prove or disprove.

Beyond traditional connectivity, 6G wireless networks will become the fabric for physical AI, enabling billions of autonomous machines, vehicles, sensors and robots and significantly increasing demands for security and trust. Yet legacy wireless architectures were not designed to meet these requirements, creating challenges as networks increase in complexity.

At that point, backpressure and load shedding are the only things that retain a system that can still operate. If you have ever been in a Starbucks overwhelmed by mobile orders, you know the feeling. The in-store experience breaks down. You no longer know how many orders are ahead of you. There is no clear line, no reliable wait estimate, and often no real cancellation path unless you escalate and make noise.

Long-range radio waves can pass through obstacles more easily, which makes them perfect for monitoring expansive factories or outdoor infrastructure. A recent report by Fabrity highlighted that these systems use very little power. This allows sensors to operate for 5 to 10 years on a single battery. Using such tech means you do not have to install expensive wiring across your entire site.

Ookla said the growing use of ChatGPT and other AI tools places much more demand on mobile networks than the typical activities of browsing social media and the web, watching videos, texting, and making the occasional phone call. As a result, more speed and expanded capabilities will be necessary. The report said advanced AI capabilities like AI-enabled glasses will put a particular strain on upload connections in the future.

T-Mobile's Q4 results reflected strong operational momentum offset by workforce restructuring costs. Service revenue climbed 10% YoY to $18.7 billion, driven by postpaid service revenue growth of 13.9%. Operating cash flow surged 20% to $6.65 billion, while adjusted free cash flow reached $4.2 billion. The earnings miss stemmed from $390 million in severance costs ($293 million after-tax) tied to workforce transformation initiatives. Without this charge, operational performance remained robust, with full-year 2025 core adjusted EBITDA hitting $33.9 billion.

Though Starlink's market and capacity have grown sharply over the last year, the satellite broadband company's median speeds still fall short of the 100/20 Mbps benchmark established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2024, according to a new report from Ookla. The report - "2025 Global Satellite Broadband Performance Report" - was released yesterday. The report marked improvements in Starlink's cumulative network capacity, which has nearly doubled in the past year.

Edge computing is a type of IT infrastructure in which data is collected, stored, and processed near the "edge" or on the device itself instead of being transmitted to a centralized processor. Edge computing systems usually involve a network of devices, sensors, or machinery capable of data processing and interconnection. A main benefit of edge computing is its low latency. Since each endpoint processes information near the source, it can be easier to process data, respond to requests, and produce detailed analytics.

AI and ML are critical for enabling autonomous, self-optimizing Wi-Fi networks capable of managing dense deployments and real-time performance demands. AI/ML reduces operational costs, improves reliability and security and delivers a more consistent quality of experience. Proprietary approaches, inconsistent data quality, and closed interfaces slow innovation and increase integration costs. Interoperable frameworks - not algorithms - will be key to success. Interoperability must include data models, telemetry, APIs, and model lifecycle management.

The bullish forecast hinges on AT&T's infrastructure push, anchored by two major deals - a nearly US$6-billion purchase of Lumen's consumer fibre business and a US$23-billion acquisition of EchoStar's spectrum licenses. The deals are expected to close early this year and help AT&T lure customers from rivals with faster internet speeds and improved mobile coverage, capitalizing on demand for broadband as remote work, streaming and connected devices drive data consumption higher.

Linux has a tool for everything. Sometimes those tools come in the form of an easy-to-use GUI, and other times a command is necessary. For monitoring network traffic, your best bet is the command line. Once you dive down the rabbit hole of possible commands for this task, you could become overwhelmed with choices -- and with the complexity of some of those commands.

Light-based internet provider Taara, which spun out of Alphabet's "moonshot" incubator last year, just launched Taara Beam to provide 25Gbps connectivity within cities over invisible beams of light - line of sight permitting. Unlike last year's Taara Lightbridge, which connects communities separated by water and mountains at distances up to 20km (over 12 miles), the shoebox-sized Beam can be mounted to street poles and roof tops for city-wide connectivity at distances up to 10km. The 8kg (less than 20 pounds) device typically consumes about 90W.

These AI tools drive profitability because they reduce outages, save energy, and obviate the need for manual intervention said Chetan Sharma, CEO of Chetan Sharma Consulting, who contributed to the report. The focus on AI-native networks and autonomous operations has overtaken customer service optimization as the leading use case for investment, according to findings from the firm's fourth annual State of AI in Telecommunications survey. The report also showed that AI has become profitable for 90% of telco operators.

Spectrum below 1 GHz could significantly boost 4G and 5G coverage in rural areas, according to the report from GSMA Intelligence. Rural areas depend heavily on low-band spectrum because it allows signal to travel further and penetrate better through barriers such as buildings. Rural residents spend twice as much time connected to low bands as their urban and rural counterparts.

NMSurf is one of the largest fixed wireless providers in New Mexico, serving the central and northern area of the state. La Bajada was previously served by a 3-Gig microwave middle-mile connection. But, Catanach said, the bandwidth was becoming insufficient. New microwave licenses are hard to come by in New Mexico, he added, because the state itself claims many licenses for radio communications.
