UK Cathedral Pulls Wi-Fi Network over Unrestricted Access
Church of England authorities at Chester Cathedral in the UK have removed the venue’s Wi-Fi network in a fluster after it was discovered that there were no restrictions placed on the holy connection.
Chester Cathedral’s Wi-Fi network was removed indefinitely after unsecured networks were investigated by journalists from the Chester Chronicle in what must’ve been a remarkably slow news day. Local church authorities realised that the cathedral’s available Wi-Fi service had no network restrictions on it, meaning that users could browse for all sorts of unholy data.
The fact-finding local reporters from the Chester Chronicle were very quick to point out that access to all websites meant that Wi-Fi users could easily be using the network to access obscene material. The newspaper decreed that locations with unrestricted Wi-Fi were allowing shoppers and passers-by to access Pornhub.com, though how they jumped to that sordid conclusion is not quite clear.
Officials at the Cathedral stated that they had explicitly requested that their IT providers set restrictions to the Wi-Fi network specifically to ban websites which included gambling or pornographic images. The network will be restored once these restrictions are in place, forcing British public porn-surfers to walk down the road to the next Starbucks for their connection fix.

All EU Homes Now Have Broadband Access
You are here: Home » Internet Connection » Posted on 7:58 am, October 18, 2013 by sites
As of this week, every citizen living in the European Union now has the ability to access broadband internet at home thanks to satellite connections.
The announcement comes after recently launched satellite connections were able to access the 0.6% of European homes which were previously too remote to be reached by wired connections or mobile networks. This means that all of the 502million people currently living within the borders of the European Union now have to option to access broadband internet from their homes.
Before the satellite internet connections were launched, traditional DSL, cable and fiber-optics lines were available to 96.1% of the European population, whilst mobile networks reached 99.4% of homes. Basic satellite internet is now available for around $13 a month, with service provided by 148 satellites.
The development comes as part of an initiative to provide internet connections around Europe, and has been completed well before the project’s end of year deadline. Further goals by the European Commission to improve internet connectivity are download speeds of at least 30Mbps for all citizens by 2020, and to bring those rates up to at least 100Mbps in half of all homes.
