Starlink vs. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet: Clash of the Broadband Disruptors

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-22 12:00:00

So, what makes Starlink and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet the biggest names in rural broadband? One word: Availability. Both providers offer extensive wireless coverage in places where fiber and cable can't reach, making them a top option for rural communities. While Starlink has effectively revolutionized satellite internet with its fleet of low Earth orbit satellites, and has reportedly doubled its speeds compared to two years ago, we would still recommend T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.

Starlink Doubled Its Speed In 2 Years. It Still Doesn’t Meet the FCC’s Definition of Broadband

Starlink is nearly twice as fast as it was two years ago, according to a new report from the speed test site Ookla. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Median download speeds from the satellite internet provider have steadily ticked up over the past few years, going from 53.95 megabits per second in 2022 to 104.71Mbps today. That’s an impressive feat considering Starlink added about 5 million customers over the same period and recently passed the 6 milli

Cognition, the startup behind the viral AI coding agent Devin, announced in a blog post on Monday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire AI coding startup Windsurf. The announcement comes just days after Google hired away Windsurf’s CEO Varun Mohan, co-founder Douglas Chen, and research leaders in a $2.4 billion deal, a reverse-acquihire that left the rest of the startup’s 250-person team behind.

From Outer Space to Your Router: Here's How Satellite Internet Gets You Online

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-25 20:00:00

The satellite internet space has only gotten more competitive in recent years, thanks to the rise of Starlink. Now that Amazon's Project Kuiper has successfully launched LEO satellites to kick off its own service, we only expect the conversation to grow from here. Despite the popularity of Starlink and the growing power of its 7,000 satellites, satellite internet is generally considered a last resort for home internet, due to slower-than-average speeds and the steep costs of equipment.

A Technical Look at Iran’s Internet Shutdowns Every time mass protests erupt in Iran, a familiar pattern follows: the flow of information stops. The internet slows to a crawl or disappears entirely. But how does a modern country survive cutting itself off from the internet? Wouldn’t that break everything? Not quite, because the Islamic Republic has spent the last decade building an internet within the internet. The National Information Network (NIN): Isolation by Design Iran’s National Info

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Stellar Death Shrouds

In brilliant new images, the James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare glimpse at the gaseous "shrouds" that surround dying stars before they go supernova. Known as Wolf-Rayet stars, which were discovered nearly 160 years ago by astronomers Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet at the Paris Observatory and named in their honor, these ancient stars are, as Space.com notes, surrounded by a "shroud" of cosmic dust that will eventually explode outward and lay the foundations for new stars.

Mysterious Signals From Deep Space Hint at Something Brutal, Scientists Say

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-25 09:15:00

Astronomers believe they've uncovered the source behind mysterious cosmic signals known as fast X-ray transients (FXTs) — and it adds a grim twist to our understanding of the death of stars. Right as a massive star explodes in a supernova, it unleashes a tremendously energetic stream of particles called a jet, producing a gamma ray burst — one of the most powerful explosions in the universe. The rest of the star, typically, collapses into a black hole. But a pair of new studies suggests that t

Rian Johnson Feels Fine About ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’

The changeover from Star Wars: The Last Jedi to The Rise of Skywalker had everyone feeling some type of way, and it continues to this day. Was J.J. Abrams spitefully undoing Rian Johnson’s work in Jedi, or are the two more in conversation with one another than they appear? In Johnson’s eyes, it’s the latter, and something he harbors no ill will about. While chatting with Rolling Stone about Poker Face’s just-wrapped second season, he revealed he had “a great time” watching Skywalker and didn’t

A Giant Planet and a Small Star Are Shaking Up Conventional Cosmological Theory

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously thought a star like this could not have large planets circulating it, because its mass is only about 20 percent of the sun, meaning its planetary system—generated from materials surrounding the star—would not have contained enough mass to form a giant body like Saturn or Jupiter.

European VC breaks taboo by investing in pure defense tech from Ukraine’s war zones

Defense tech has gone from a no-go zone for VCs to a hot investment sector. However, dual use — meaning that the technology must also have civilian applications — is still a requirement for most of them, including the NATO Innovation Fund.
