Mark Jackson
Mark Jackson is a long-serving technology and telecoms reporter who owns and edits ISPreview, an independent site focused on consumer ISP news, telecoms and broadband information. He founded ISPreview in 1999 and continues to run it as a privately owned publication dedicated to internet service provider news, reviews, articles, discussion and ISP comparisons. Across tens of thousands of posts in the UK ISP news archive, he has built a specialist beat covering broadband networks and consumer internet access.
His background as a professional technology writer, IT consultant and computer engineer shapes the way he explains new broadband and telecoms developments. He retains responsibility for the vast majority of the site’s content and upkeep, giving his coverage continuity and a consistent analytical voice over many years. He describes his work as providing consumer ISP news, telecoms and top broadband information, signalling a focus on practical implications for end users as well as industry moves.
UK ISP News and Broadband Upgrades
Jackson regularly reports on network build projects by UK broadband providers, highlighting where fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks are being extended and how many premises are covered. In coverage of Netomnia’s build of a new FTTP broadband network to 40,000 premises in Didsbury, he sets out the provider’s rollout plans, the scale of the deployment and what it means for local connectivity. His ISP news pieces track incremental upgrades to broadband infrastructure, showing how different operators expand coverage, increase speeds and compete in crowded markets.
The archive attached to his byline spans many years of UK ISP news, indicating that he follows the evolution of broadband technology and market structure over time rather than treating announcements as isolated events.
Telecoms Networks, Regulation and Efficiency
Jackson also covers telecoms network performance and regulation, including issues such as numbering misuse and oversight by the communications regulator. In one piece he highlights an Ofcom investigation into the misuse of phone numbers by companies like Vonage and Voxbone, drawing attention to how scams exploit telecoms systems and how regulators respond.
He writes about how artificial intelligence can improve energy savings in UK telecoms networks, summarising industry reports that examine the technical changes needed to reduce power consumption while maintaining service quality. Across these topics he focuses on how network design, policy decisions and security practices affect both operators and customers, treating telecoms infrastructure as a system that must balance reliability, efficiency and protection against abuse.
Consumer Broadband Services and TV Platforms
His beat extends to consumer-facing broadband services, including TV platforms offered by major UK telecoms operators. When EE adds a streaming service such as Disney+ to its EE TV Box Pro and EE TV Box Edge devices, he covers the change as part of the wider story of how ISPs aggregate content and differentiate their packages. In this kind of coverage he explains what hardware is supported, how customers access new apps and how the addition compares with rival platforms from providers like Sky and Virgin Media. The emphasis stays on what the change delivers for broadband and TV customers rather than on promotional messaging, fitting with his positioning as a consumer ISP and broadband information writer.
Independent, Long-Term Coverage of Broadband Markets
ISPreview remains a fully independent website that is personally owned and run by Jackson, which gives his reporting a distinct vantage point compared with journalists inside larger newsrooms. As owner and chief editor, he sets the editorial agenda around internet service providers and broadband, and he continues to write the majority of news and analysis himself.
The site’s history back to 1999 and the scale of his authored archive show that he has followed multiple generations of broadband technology, from early consumer internet access to modern FTTP and advanced telecoms networks. His self-description as an IT professional and technology writer who enjoys analysing the latest telecoms and broadband developments signals a persistent focus on technical detail, network architecture and the practical performance of ISP services.
Taken together, his ownership role, technical background and long-running archive distinguish his coverage as deep, continuity-led reporting on UK broadband and telecoms rather than general technology news.
