Article skips consideration for shared wifi such as cafes where, IME, a lot of students do their work. Consumer wifi routers might have a cap of ~24 clients, and kind of rotate which clients they're serving, so not only is your 100Mbit link carved up, but you periodically get kicked off and have to renew your connection. I cringe when I see people trying to use slack or office365 in this environment.
Grateful for the blog w/ nice data tho TY
- hamandcheese 1y agoI have never experienced this. Then again, I'm not sure if the cafes I frequent have 24+ people connected to wifi at a time.
- jonah-archive 1y agoA few years ago I was at a cafe in a venue that had a large conference/gathering, and their router was handing out 24 hour DHCP leases and ran out of IP addresses. It was a fairly technical group so me and a couple other people set up a table with RFC 2322-style pieces of paper with IP/gateway info ("please return when finished") and it worked surprisingly well!
