It is fascinating to think that before digital circuits phone calls were accomplished by an end-to-end electrical connection between the handsets. What luxury that must have been! If only those ancestors of ours had modems and computers to use those excellent connections for low-latency gaming... :-)

Einstein would like to have a word…

And for the little bit of impact queueing latency has (if done well, i.e. no bufferbloat), I doubt anyone would notice the difference, honestly.

You’re arguing for a reduction in quality in internet services. People do notice those things. It’s like claiming people don’t care about slimmer iPhones. They do.
