FWIW, in this really interesting read about the latest vulnerability released by Project Zero, they talk about AWDL and how if this is in use (AirDrop enabled?) then you're going to get tons of jitter/packet

So after installing Little Snitch and basically denying "trustd" any kind of Internet access, I have been seeing reasonably normal jitter with Bluetooth enabled. It's not that Bluetooth stops scanning, but it's not scanning as aggressively. So after a few minutes, there will be very high

Hey Mark, Went through a bunch of tests here. Seems I’ve cleared up the matter on this macOS[1] Big Sur at least by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under “Location Services -> System Services -> Wi-Fi Networking [2]”. It seems at least from perspective that something changed there and causes the

Let me jump in and add a bit more information. I am not an RF guy - I stopped playing with radios [and TV] in the days when they used vacuum tubes (yes, really.) Many laptops share radio and antenna resources between WiFi and bluetooth. Bluetooth lives on the 2.4ghz band.  Wifi presently

Heya ! Doug! Yeah I wouldn’t put this on BT either. On the other hand it seems that whether the scheduler is newreno or cubic that this situation persists pasts my previous suggestions. Seems tho that when you put strain on an upload that the jitter gets considerably worse... 90m out of a 100m
