Same here. It is so annoying. ME: How are you testing the speed? Them: I am running the speedtest via my Apple Mac SE via an Ethernet AUI controller and i'm only getting 500kbps! The joys of running an ISP and dealing with the public.... -Mike On Tue, Jun 1, 2021 at 1:45 PM <aaron1@gvtc.com> wrote:

What did they cry about?
The speedtest.net result?
Loading google.com in a fraction of a second?
or was it that you didn't have 75 ms of garbage in the way?
That you didn't go through a congested port between the PC and the destination?
That you were hard wired instead of single-chain 802.11n WiFi going through 5 walls?
That you were using a local recursive resolver DNS server?

I’ve had people cry about how fast the internet is at my office…
I guess your mileage may vary, but yes humans do notice those kinds of delays and they are cumulative. (It’s not just bandwidth, it’s latency. The 3ms ping in my signature is real too.)
