<p class="">Because of the degree to which we're working from home and videoconferencing, a lot of low-price, medium-performance devices are suddenly too wimpy for their new role.</p>

<p class="">Big time. As noted above, it not just the CPE devices, it’s the congestion on the backhauls that causes issues, and it’s everything from DSL (slammed DSLAMs are endemic) to cable systems with oversubscribed local loops and congested CMTS backhaul.
Hell, even fiber to the home ISPs manage to have variable capacity (and bloat) in the evenings.</p>

<div class="">Stuff like this article from Jim Gettys on the needs of teachers. BTW- he calls out the IQrouter as his ‘Go to’ recommendation for non-techies. He runs one himself and gave one to his non-techie brother. <a href="https://gettys.wordpress.com/2020/04/22/bufferbloat-in-action-due-to-covid-19/" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">Bufferbloat
