Talk:Internet access

message: The graph is a completely made metric up by the editor that put it in the article.  This came to attention with other graphs that were made up and weren't a reflection of the sources used to create them.  It's Original Research and is not peer reviewed.  I removed it but was reverted.  There is no underlying source that says the data is related to affordability or that the data used in the graph is accurate depiction of affordability.  --DHeyward (talk) 11:48, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Why is dial-up listed in the Hardwired broadband access sub-section?
Dial-up Internet access explains that it was replaced by broadband Internet access.

replies: text: - Completely agree! I created a new sub-section about dial-up technologies and moved those two sections into that new sub-section. Thanks for pointing this out! - Dyork (talk) 17:27, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dial-up is NOT broadband. 

message: Given that there were so many older conversations on this Talk page dating back to 2008, I followed the H:ARC manual process and created a new Talk archive page with all those earlier/resolved conversations. You can access and/or search that page from the top of this page. I kept the discussion about the graphic so that it was easy to find for any editors should someone want to remove or update that image in the future. - Dyork (talk) 17:21, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Created new archive page for this Talk page 

message: Why is this paragraph about MOSFET included in the History section?
It seems out of place and does not fit with the flow of the section. Right now the flow of the paragraphs is:
* Brief intro to history of Internet
* 1980s/1990s - about LANs and dial-up connections
* MOSFET paragraph going back into the 1960s
* Rise of broadband Internet access and terminology explanations
* More about broadband and different types
* 1990s/2000s - evolution of broadband
* (more paragraphs about the evolution of Internet access)
That one MOSFET paragraph seems to be out of place and disconnected from the rest of the flow. It is too granular and diving deep into one specific technology instead of feeding into the overall story.  Would anyone be opposed to me removing that paragraph? - Dyork (talk) 17:39, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove the MOSFET paragraph in the history section? 

message: Just flagging that the History section should have a bit more toward the end mentioning the rise in satellite systems for Internet access. The final three paragraphs need some help. The first one mentions installation of Wi-Fi networks and then wireless, satellite and microwave. Then a paragraph about some technologies for fixed wireless. Then a paragraph about mobile broadband access technologies.  I think some of those could be combined or at least re-ordered. For satellite, there could be some brief mention in the rise of low earth orbit (LEO) systems. There is a lengthier discussion farther down the page but some mention would be useful in the History section. I don't have the time to do this kind of editing right now, but just want to flag it in case another editor does have the time. - Dyork (talk) 17:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  History section needs better ending mentioning satellite / LEO access 

message: The Satellite broadband section needs some updates. It refers to a system that is "scheduled for launch in 2015". It does not mention Starlink or the other various services now available. I see there is a whole page on Satellite internet constellation that could be linked to from this section. - Dyork (talk) 17:57, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Satellite broadband section needs better, updated text on LEOs 

message: Realise that:
1. All the graphs at the cited source show 2004 and not 2005
2. The one who changed it to 2005 comes from a blocked IP range for disruptive editing
