Still upset about last summer’s Spotify price bump? These lawmakers are on the case

Tech Team / Android Authority TL;DR Last year Spotify introduced audiobook access and raised pricing for Premium plans. While there was still a music-only Basic option, these senators don’t think consumers were made adequately aware. They also accuse Spotify of orchestrating the whole change to lower its payouts to musicians.

Low WiFi in a large house can be quite frustrating, particularly when your ISP router is not powerful enough to cover all parts of it. Instead of relying on an average box that has a tendency of creating dead spots and lagging connections, it is worth investing in a more powerful system from a trusted brand like TP-Link.
