Full props to #NowBroadband. Signed up to #Giganet last week (installed on Monday).

Called Now this morning expecting the usual cancellation hassle. Person was lovely and offered a cancellation of 24 hours instead of the standard 30 years.

Spot on service.

Well has 67mb with #Now Broadband. Now getting average of 575-600mb with #Giganet.

That's a slight difference 😂

In other news. We are looking to leave our current broadband provider.

Currently on #NowBroadband and paying a reasonable £20/mth for 67mb

However they’ve recently laid full fibre out around us so today I’ve signed up with #Giganet for their 900mb service for £40/mth (and 3 month free)

All being well it’ll be installed on Monday 🎉

Literally the only time the fella ever gets up before midday on vacation .. #cityfibre #giganet installation day! Hopefully today we go from 250Mb/25Mb to 900Mb asynchronous while saving £50 per month in the process 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I won't be posting about the next panel, because I am the discussant in it. So, if you are interested, you will need to tune in :)

Program: https://www.giga-net.org/giganet-annual-symposium/

We will start the third panel on data governance in about half an hour.

Now Ayden Ferdeline is reflecting on the papers. Appreciated how they all address the agenda setting dynamics in #netgov. Offers some pointed feedback to each presentation. I won't summarize it here, but one meta-theme is a call to venture beyond the obvious spaces/communities. Something van Eeten and Mueller have called a while ago.
