I agree the Internet performs poorly between a lot of sites. There is much we can do to make it work better. My prediction is it is more likely to get worse than better in the near term.....:( My current "pet peeve" is that peering is more political than technical these days. There are customers that will pay more for better service, but it's a much more difficult sale. Limiting growth is very difficult, probably impossible. Many ISPs have VC or public money invested now, so the pressure to increase sales is pretty irresistible.

I'm amazed at the attitude I'm getting from this list. You are, collectively, in the business of running a large network. I am a paying user of that network. The network is not delivering appropriate performance, as measured most importantly by the time I and others spend waiting around for characters to echo, Web pages to display, and whatnot. This time is long far more often than it's historically been, and far more often than a reasonable person might expect.
