Making home Internet faster has little to do with “speed”

This post analyzes the impact of bandwidth and latency on internet performance, using real-world data and simulations. It demonstrates that latency has a more significant impact on web page load times than bandwidth beyond a certain threshold. The post explains how latency affects connection establishment (TCP/TLS/QUIC handshakes) and sequential loading of web assets. Cloudflare's strategy of expanding its global network to reduce latency is presented as a solution to improve Internet Quality of Experience (QoE).
