I think this is encouraged by, or is even a direct result of, so called "speed tests" for use by consumers (such as https://www.speedtest.net/), and the way connectivity "speed" has been used as a marketing tool. At least where I live, "speed" is the main marketing tool for switching users to fibre instead of copper. No doubt it will be used as the main marketing tool for 5G too.

It's almost as if those marketing people don't understand queueing theory.
