Yep, I definitely see this from time to time, especially over mobile networks. Interestingly, most of my problems went away when I started using OpenVPN. It connects with UDP to my Amazon EC2 VM, which is close enough to the internet's core that everything after that is low-latency. I'm not sure why this works, but it does suggest a practical testing ground for bufferbloat-workaround strategies: you can't make the rest of the internet adopt your weird new protocol, but you can install it on a VM, and route all your traffic that way. As an added bonus, this gets you security on untrusted networks and a static IP. And you could potentially use this sort of trick to get a cool multi-homed connection, although there's no software for that currently. It'd be interesting to see what possibilities there are when combining a fast but bufferbloated or high-latency connection, with a slow but low-latency connection.
