[Rpm] [Bloat] Fwd: Airbnb

[Livingood, Jason]

Unfortunately this is not an aggregate capacity test but a single connection test so I don’t think AirBnB selected a test that is matched to the question their prospective guests are interested in. That test certainly has it’s uses as a diagnostic tool but perhaps not to say how fast someone’s Internet access may be. There’s a recent MIT paper about this that is worth reading: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3898339

New tool: Check the wifi speed in your Airbnb listing before you book<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/news.airbnb.com/new-tool-check-the-wifi-speed-in-your-airbnb-listing-before-you-book/__;!!CQl3mcHX2A!VTUwXktLLqNXRj-gEje6JJkPrB5OhFHjknshJBElHMhGQ6TchlJ8TZBTgLaFS_0dFXbgJA$>
As the growing flexibility to work and live from anywhere continues, being able to determine a listing’s wifi speed before booking is a must-have for digital nomads, remote workers, roadschoolers, traveling families, gamers, and creatives alike.

Wish they measured latency under load to give you a better score of your wifi experience!
