Spectrum is now allowed to institute charge extra for using more data - "data caps." When it bought the company from Time-Warner, it had to wait before imposing data caps. It tried in 2021, but it was turned down by the FCC. Now, it is free to put limits on how much data we can use for the amount we are paying. Want more data? Pay more money. There's no way of knowing what they'll do, but they have the option of bringing in millions more dollars every month. Will they decide that they are already making enough money?

Your thinking is not correct. Morse code is the simplest form of data communication. It is well known that the faster Morse is sent the bandwidth of the signal increases. This increase in bandwidth is a result of the mathematics of wave forms. Modern digital signals are more complex than a Morse Signal none-the-less more bandwidth is required to send more information per unit time.

The speed of information on a wire is the speed of light reduced by a factor to account of interactions with the medium of transfer. Information travels at the speed of light in a vacuum (e.g. Radio Signals in space). Using more frequency space is required to transfer more information.

This is something that has been going on for years. On U-Tube, on the Amazon Prime, and frankly other locations. I tried to hear a movie's audio and it comes out as a wispier, or low volume, yet when there is a commercial (U-Tube) the audio blares. I know that for some reason the providers are doing this with purpose, that is apparent.

My question is, is there anything that can be done on a standard computer like a Dell computer to increase the volume beyond the volume knob on the speaker? I have actually doped out of a film because the audio is so low I simply cannot follow the dialogue, and this is on a paid site.

Okay, Semi final post. I can’t post the images as examples as they are gone. AND, my old memory recalled they were using a fill flash on this Rebel T3. So, that possibly could explain my daughters issue on this day, however, she asked me because she said it happens frequently. And it happens to me, not a lot, but it happens enough that her question caused me to write the original post. And I don’t own a flash. I thought it must happen to others as well. Of course I have none of my own to share, long gone.

So I’m going to pause this thread until it happens to me again, and then post some examples. Of course, as when you go to the mechanic to have him correct an intermittent sound, his report is always “ could not duplicate”. So, if it never happens again, I guess that will be good enough.

Picture posted is my wife and I and the 18 year old graduate. Taken by the Rebel T3. Thanks for all the thoughts, perhaps we can get together again sometime in the future.
