Hm, interesting. The HN thread doesn't seem to propose many solutions. Is this something a new modem would fix? Time Warner gave me a (very large and unattractive) modem. I have an old-ish Apple wireless router plugged into it.
- ColinWright 11y agoMy impression as a non-expert is that there is no non-commercial solution, every system for Joe Public is crap in this regard. They get away with it because everyone quotes top possible speeds without considering latency. With web pages especially, you make lots of connections and get lots of small files, each delivered extremely quickly after a measurable pause. Hence poor perceived performance. It boils down to large pages with lots of bloat, analytics, ads, and formatting. So no, I don't think a new modem would fix it. Welcome to the modern web. Of course, I could be wrong.
