I don't think there is a comprehensive guide to holidays, religions, sports etc. It's something the BT universe could use actually.

I think I might right a FF just for this. At least maybe, in broad strokes.

I think the Clan homeworlds have real time internet, at least for the warriors and scientists if the "snarky internet comments" are anything to go by. Of course, limiting access to the least populated castes probably helps with HPG bandwidth congestion.
The Inner Sphere probably COULD have real time internet Sphere wide if Comstar wasn't full of ******* that limited access and charged by the byte.

Yeah the clans do have a more advanced system. The latency would probably still be on the order of a few thousand ms though.
No cross-clan FPS gaming. No wonder they are so salty.

not possible for one part you need a HPG-A station at the bare minimum.
of course you can only have intersystem communication with the speed of light.
at best I would expect to have daily updates or half day updates- were a station in the rotation sends all informations as delta load from day before (including all informations send to it by other station) packed into compressed data files and send in a burst.
to send every byte in realtime over 60LY would even exhaust the fusion fuel (and hydrogen can not be harvested) and not forget the waste heat. the soil would vaporate when you have some chatty ClansApp freebirth sending memes and funny cat videos.
information technology doesn't belong in hands of infidels - you should know it by now.

At Least they did before the Wars of Reaving and half the clans were wiped out.

Dude. Building better infrastructure is not technically impossible. Melissa Steiner's assassination was televised live to the entire Inner Sphere. If you upgrade all the connections to be two way and then run the links 24/7, you could have real time internet across the entire Inner Sphere.
It's just like with everything else in the Inner Sphere, the monetary and resource drain of all the constant conflicts in the Inner Sphere prevents everyone from fixing all their infrastructure (not just HPGs) back up to AT LEAST Star League levels.

Even inside the various interstellar states local culture and living standards vary wildly. It's often said that the Federated Suns is like two different nations. One that contains several of the most developed and technologically advance worlds among humanity, and those in the Outback that have some of the poorest and least educated people in the Inner Sphere. Worse than many periphery state worlds.
Unrest among those poor worlds is one of the reasons the Filtvelt Coalition and Malagrotta Cooperative split off from the FedSuns.

A reasonable visual summary of generic life can be found in an episode of the TV series "Firefly." Just pay attention to the background characters in a given episode.
Earlier episodes - periphery/less well off worlds.
Later episodes - prosperous planets.
(Main characters basically summarize a small merc group... as well as the life story of the 'mercs' in the Battletech game by harebrained schemes.)
For specifics, it really varies on the location.
