if the question is will the browser vendor (google) or the broadband provider (att) move first, i can already predict the answer. my experience (again) with the quic wg is they seem to think there's many options and bad providers will be replaced which seems disconnected from reality.
Agreed. Since I'm in RTP, I *am* lucky enough to live in an area where there are multiple ISPs.
But not everyone is, and local-loop unbundling is no longer a thing :(
The average user is at the mercy of their local ISP. So the major providers should (but may not have much incentive to) provide decent service.
Honestly, there’s part of me that wants to say be lucky you have a choice. My options here are (1.5m DSL, fixed wireless ISP behind several layers of NAT, Cellular data or dial-up). “Watch this space” for my solution. Several people know what it is, but my solution isn’t for everyone. - Jared
