For the most part, we're all happy if we can get Internet that's fast enough to stream some HD video. But faster is always better, and a new, world-record setting network developed in Germany is so blazing fast you wouldn't know what to do with it. It can deliver 10 HD films in a second. Read More >>
Manchester City might not have won the league, but at least it'll have a whole stadium filled with Cisco's "intelligent high-density Wi-Fi" for fans to stream things like instant replays or tweet their frustration with some overpaid diving twerp. Could be awesome for action replays -- the best of TV brought directly into the stadium on your phone? [TNW] Read More >>

David Cameron's attempting to ban porn from public Wi-Fi hotspots. That's great, I guess, and many of them already do block that kind of thing with filters. But the question that springs to my mind is, who in the hell actually watches porn while out in public? Read More >>

With the OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 beta release currently in the hands of developers, some of the more eagle-eyed nerds have noticed references to code which appear to confirm rumours about Apple's plans to roll out super-fast Wi-Fi to its Macs. Read More >>
Good news if you're on O2. The network's just announced a deal with Virgin to give its customers free Wi-Fi access on London Underground, just like Vodafone and EE, from June. That will leave just Three and the MVNOs out of the free Tube Wi-Fi party. [Virgin] Read More >>

Remember a few years ago when Google got itself in that whole little Street-View-cars-collecting-personal-Wi-Fi-network-data debacle? Well, it looks like the case is finally being settled, and it's not just the people who had their privacy stripped before their very eyes that are benefitting — everyone gets a piece of the pie!

Sound bars don't immediately benefit from Wi-Fi connectivity the way music systems do, because you usually use them with your TV, and your TV isn't something you need to put in your pocket and walk around with. But that doesn't mean that Sonos' wireless music features don't benefit from its first sound bar. Just the opposite, in fact. Read More >>

If you're stuck with a limited iPhone data plan and rely heavily on Wi-Fi to avoid punitive charges, spending £35 to vastly improve your reception when leeching from free hotspots might sound like a real bargain. That is, if the Linkase manages to deliver on its promise of boosting Wi-Fi reception by as much as 50 percent. Read More >>

Virgin's London Tube Wi-Fi network is pretty useful, I have to admit, but the free ride is now over. From today, Virgin will start charging you for access unless you happen to be on EE, Vodafone or Virgin. It's not that expensive, but will you actually pay for it now? Read More >>
