[Bloat] Looking for a citation...

[dan]

This high speed increased issues thing has been something we’ve talked with
customers about many times in both wisp and msp businesses.  Some cheap
802.11n router can be fantastic when you have a 10M service but becomes the
primary issue at 50M+.

On the isp side it’s how we explain and justify the need for premium wifi
for high speed plans, even requiring our router be installed even if they
want to use their own.  Literally filtering dhcp for only our routers.
