What does that mean? For most people, the wi-fi is not the limiting factor for internet speed.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoSure, but "most people" is a low bar : "most people" probably can't even afford a computer with a dedicated graphics card either : the median per-capita household income is only $2,920 per year. As for most people with a less than a decade old dedicated graphics card : I actually do believe that WiFi is a limiting factor for Internet speed.
- high_na_euv 2y agoInternet speed is irrelevant Packet drops and ping spikes are the problem
- kazinator 2y agoPacket drops are not entirely separable from speed. One reason packets get dropped is congestion, and speed obviously helps with congestion, since it is an important determiner of capacity. But, indeed, the speed of an uncongested hop is irrelevant, in that it could slower by some factor, yet without it making a difference to the packet loss.
