Question from the uninformed here:
Is this just a change to how the statistics are tallied, or does this trigger a ripple effect compelling service providers to do something differently?

#232Earlier quoted context omitted.
Have you set up bufferbloat prevention on your router? You would restrict your router to only say 100mbps, to avoid saturating the connection.
Even better: my ISP does that for me on their side, and prioritises smaller packets too. I've got a 115Mbit/s connection for my last mile, and AAISP limit what they'll try to send down it to 95% of the line rate, so BT should never need to buffer anything .
I'd rather not have my ISP decide which packets are "higher" priority and do this myself.
This is a core tenant of Net Neutrality.
