General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It’s easily got to the point where home broadband is not the limiting factor. We are a home of 2 people and our 500Mbps is more than sufficient.

At work we found that people’s home WiFi is way more limiting than the incoming connection.

My company is remote first and I work with so many people who despite having fantastic speeds at the demarcation point rely on connecting from a shitty AP three stories and 8 walls away.

The first thing I did when getting FttP is run Ethernet from the router to my computer.

I fully expect people to sign up for this, then realise that their internal networking is only gigabit.
Thoughts and prayers for the firstline helpdesk people. We're 110/20, and it only really tanks when someone is downloading from steam (and I've turned off QoS).
