Networking kit manufacturer TP-Link, which builds a lot of broadband routers, WiFi extenders and smart home devices, today claims to have soft launched the “world’s first” commercial Wi-Fi 8 products – the Archer 9 Ultra router and Deco 8 Ultra mesh Wi-Fi system.

Alternative UK broadband network and ISP Gigability, which first cropped up in 2024 (here and here) with plans to build a full fibre network across rural villages in Shropshire (England), appears to have run into a problem on part of their network after a couple of their customers in the medieval market town of Much Wenlock indicated they’d been given one month’s notice of service closure.

The government’s new changes to the Building Safety Regulator’s (BSR) approval processes in England (here) are causing additional delays to some of Openreach’s new broadband installs.

Starlink’s (SpaceX) ultrafast satellite broadband service has finally responded to complaints from small boat owners about the company’s recent restrictions on international roaming, which threatened to make the service untenable for those who sail around different parts of the world – sometimes for months. But a new Personal Maritime Plan may be the answer, albeit with caveats.

Mobile network operator EE (inc. BT) has notified UK customers in Nepal (South Asia) that, due to the devastating impact of yesterday’s catastrophic flash flood and mudslide on the Nepal-Tibet border, they’re promising to credit back charges for mobile calls, texts and data (mobile broadband) used in the country, as well as mobile and landline calls from the UK to Nepal.

One of the biggest problems with using direct optical (laser) links in free space (i.e. out in the open air) between sites is that atmospheric distortion (turbulence) over distance can create interference, which causes the data speeds to slow and stability to weaken. But a solution may have been found by a joint team at Wits University (South Africa) and the University of Bordeaux (France).

A new report has revealed that two UK broadband ISPs, Exascale and Squirrel Internet, have recently decided to stop selling access to Gigaclear’s alternative full fibre network. The move occurred due to what appears to be a conflict of interest over how the altnet treats their wholesale partners when compared with their own direct retail customers.
