Also this:
https://blog.cloudflare.com/aim-database-for-internet-quality/
A pretty decent article explaining the issue in a very accessible way.
Nitpicks (in case David Tuber is on this list):
A) jitter is important for gaming (if only as it affects the necessary added
delay for de-jitter buffers), just think extreme cases like packet reordering,
so I think the gaing score should include the jitte sub-score.
B) "You have to make video calls to her clients all day and you sit in the
office farthest away from the wireless access point." Probably "calls to your
clients" instead.
Also I am a big fan of the cloudflare test including a packetloss test under
idle conditions. This was really helpful in getting enough users to chip in
loss data to convince my ISP that they had a severe loss problem (sustained
packetloss from ~1-10% even under idle conditions like 1AM), which in turn
resulted in ISP and some not revealed manufacturer going ona deep debug session
and apparently squelching the issue.
Sidenotes.:
A) even at 0.8% random loss TCPs struggle to keep utilisation high, and it
takes an ungodly numer of concurrent flows to saturate even a moderate link.
B) tying into an earlier discussion about monitoring latency/loss along network
paths and the utility of doing so for endusers, I caught my ISPs attention by
posting a series of MTR traces taken at the middle of the night against a set
of DNS servers (including my ISP's). All showing increased sustained loss after
a single gateway in Hamburg (and no such loss for other gateways of the same
ISP). There had been complaints of reduced download rates before, but it
apparently it was the longitudinal set of traces that made their NOC take the
matter seriously and spring into action. Yes, that ISP should have found/fixed
the issue pro-actively, but to paraphrase D. Rumsfeld, you go on the internet
with the ISP you have, not the one you want to have....
