My story.
I'd moved from a suburban area, which had decent DOCSIS service, to a remote rural area, where the choice was between woeful DSL service... or nothing.
After a few weeks of pain, neighbors alerted me to a home router that supposedly made life bearable. I'd encountered a lot of worthless IT snake oil in my job & was skeptical. But I did some reading about bufferbloat, threw skepticism to the wind, and bought the router.
It tuned itself to the connection and ended up making things workable. I'm not a network engineer - my specialty was DNS/DHCP/IP address management - but nerded out around the subject of latency under load. I ended up putting together an OpenWRT-based home router.
When Starlink became operational, bufferbloat was the first thing I was curious about, especially given the "back-to-first-principles" engineering that Starlink aspires to.
