I agree! The latency improvement is the interesting one, but honestly LTE latency is already pretty good.
I wish there were more efforts behind IOT support, by way of lower-frequency bandwidth and low-energy radios, maybe even restricted to a simple messaging protocol. That would open up so many new applications!
- vardump 8y agoEver tried residential fiber optic internet? <1 ms latency. Web pages just pop on the screen — at least when the server is geographically near. It's addictive. Compare it to cable modems with still lowish 5-10 ms latency. Pages load visibly slower. But you don't mind it or even notice, if you haven't previously gotten used with the faster option. So I think I'll always take all of the latency improvements available. The difference can be substantial even when the starting point is already "pretty good".
- mehrdadn 8y agoHow do you even find sites that load fast enough for this difference to matter? I only know of maybe 1-2 websites that load instantly like that [1]. Everything else seems bottlenecked on the server side (and sometimes the client). https://www.changedetection.com/dirsearch.html https://www.changedetection.com/dirsearch.html
