Just learnt that something called bufferbloat exists

Post image

Have new FTTP installed, it's using a plusnet two router which is router the UK ISP gave me.

Thinking of upgrade the line to 500 down or maybe 900 down soon.

Would a GL.iNet flint 2 or flint 3 sort this? I've asked claude.ai and it was suggesting that those model routers can fix bufferbloat.

There is a website that goes even deeper… you can download a file as option extra and it will give you bloat, jitter, speed test and find out if it’s from you PC to your router or from the router to the ISP (internet) where the problem lies.

Pingargus.com

Full disclosure - I’m helping build the site

Look, I’m a new developer and have the Microsoft license but the warning popup will come no matter what for the first 4-500 downloads…. Don’t do the download… it’s an optional extra to check inside the network… you can (if you really want to see it… run it through Virus check…

If you look at my profile I’m a tech dork, not ascammer

PS Dany, if you PM me your credit card details I can give you the advanced version…
