> As I noted also on the twitter thread for this, were I there, and dishonest, (particularly were gobs of money on the table) I could easily have permuted the bandwidth on both tests hugely upwards from a single laptop by running continuous speedtests. But speedtests are not what we do day in or out, and reflect normal usage not at all.

Exactly so. And certainly many speed tests were run I am sure. But in terms of everyday usage, I find it very interesting that this number of people used that amount of capacity. I have no doubt people were using P2P and doing large downloads, watching streaming video, and of course many peope on video conferences since everyone on site tended to also be running Meetecho from WG sessions.

Cisco APs. Both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz and this meeting they started the shift to WPA3. 

My broader objective is - like you - to help the world shift its mindset from 'bandwidth is the only solution' to 'bandwidth is important, but so is working latency'. Along these lines I'd like to see folks start to recognize that the single biggest way to improve end user QoE is probably less about bandwidth and more about working latency.
