Latency is a limitation for things that are generally relatively low bandwidth (interactive audio, zoom, etc.).
Higher bandwidth won?t solve the latency problem

        Oh ,  Sorry you were talking about latncy not Packet loss .
While I do understand that icmp responses ARE Low priority the above still gives some useful info . IMO Packet losses like the above are far worse than latency , But as far as an eyeball networks users experience makes absolutely no difference .

IMO as we enter the 'post-gigabit era', an extra 1 Gbps to the home will
matter less than 100 ms or 500 ms lower working latency (optimally sub-50 ms, if not sub-25 ms). The past is exclusively speed-focused -- the future will be

Speed + working latency + reliability/resiliency + consistency of QoE + security/protection + WiFi LAN quality.

One more set of nit's , "security/protection" by who's standard should this be taken from , Eyeball users , Eyeball network Operators , His upstreams , US Gov , Nato , ... ?

Where can each of those mentioned in the above have their input listened too & acted apon ?
