Best Internet Providers in Indianapolis, Indiana

What is the best internet provider in Indianapolis? CNET recommends AT&T Fiber as the best choice for internet in Indianapolis due to its fast speeds and overall availability. With speeds up to 5,000Mbps for $245 per month, residents looking for the best speeds shouldn't look elsewhere. However, if you end up outside the internet service provider's area, we recommend Spectrum's cable service as a fantastic alternative.

The CMF Buds 2 are a budget-friendly steal at just $39, but the deal ends tonight

You might feel Amazon is milking this Amazon Prime Day with the new four-day format, and we wouldn’t disagree.

Until midnight, they’re available at a special price of $39, down from their usual price of $59.

Price of Switch 2 Might Increase Soon Because of Tariffs

It's been more than a month since Switch 2 came out. As Nintendo's most expensive console, at $450, it has yet to see a price jump because of President Donald Trump's new tariffs, but that can still change. Trump first announced his plans for tariffs on April 2, the same day that the Switch 2 was revealed. The tariffs targeted two countries important to Nintendo: Japan, where the company is based, and Vietnam, where some of its products are manufactured. He did declare soon after the announceme

Google nerfs Pixel 6a batteries following fire hazard

After nerfing the Pixel 4a's battery capacity earlier this year, Google has now confirmed a si

Samsung could take inspiration from iOS’s Live Voicemail and Pixel Call Screen (APK teardown)

Apple TL;DR Samsung is working on an on-device voicemail feature similar to iOS’s Live Voicemail. This feature would allow calls to be screened and corresponding voice messages to be stored directly on the device. Unlike Apple’s version, Samsung’s will let users customize ring time before redirecting a call, but lacks transcription functionality, at least for now. The feature was spotted within One UI 8 beta code and may initially be rolled out only in select regions. With iOS 17, Apple intr

Best Printer for Your Home or Office in 2025: Tested by Our Experts

Why I like it: Of the printers I've tested so far, the OfficeJet Pro is the most versatile.
