In this paper, we aim to provide an ontography of broadband in the contexts of domestic space. This research draws from ethnographic data in homes and develops an object-oriented approach to ethnography. At one level the purpose of conducting an ontography is to contribute to our understanding of the changing configurations of media and communications technologies in the home, and at another level, the purpose of our ontograph is to complement and counter the historical emphasis on human agency in studies of media in the home.
