Throwing out TCP for a message-oriented layer as Homa does is not really required for addressing this need. Perhaps what would be more useful in this context would be for operating system vendors to perform a HTTP request to a globally distributed endpoint similar to captive portal detection, and then use a more aggressive congestion control algorithm in the case of networks with good throughputs but with high latency.
