A great example too -- initial page/content load for text/docs, vs continuous streaming which could be workable with arbitrary latency compensation as long as you do really have sufficient bandwidth. The start time might suck, but once you're going, you're going.
I had to double take when I saw illegal fishing, I thought you meant the digital kind and my mind went to ddos/similar :P

Average users will barely even notice a start time of up to 1 second. 500ms will seem fast to them, for starting a video. Typing a document in Google Docs and having a 1000ms round-trip latency for every letter they type, however, will quickly become annoying.
- alexeldeib 4y agoI was thinking of streaming video, where the first load might be a lot heavier to buffer you to a state where you don't get choppy playback. Yeah, regardless of throughput, you're going to have a bad time with interactive workloads with high latency.
