I take your point regarding Quality

but both your examples in the post show A+ quality?

I'm thinking that packet loss significant enough to show as a "C" or
worse is mostly a bad situation
even if avoiding all packet loss - by using huge buffers - is
definitely a disaster..

>> Quality refers to average detected packet loss / re-transmit percentages during download phase. The higher the packet loss / re-transmit percentage the more inefficient the connection is, and a very poor result may be indicative of congestion, inside wiring issues or other problems that need addressing.
