Speedtest assumes the ISP for your IPV4 connection is the same as for IPV6, this can attribute wrong metrics to a provider.

There's no way I could pull ~ 1100 Mbps over KPN which currently still runs over copper, this speed is actually thanks to Ziggo over good old coaxial cable.

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

This is the speed that I get from my ISP in Mobile mode. They are a telecom so they also have mobile networks. This speed is good in comparison with the speed that I had on their xDSL. The difference is the enormous amount that they charge for a relatively normal speed on mobile networks

If I got this speed on xDSL I would be able to do some nice networking programming, testing and loadbalancing training
