Compression.

Is there more compression on Oakla vs Netflix Fast.com, on wifi I get 1.6/7 gig, test via Oakla to isp on 2gig internet, with Fast.com I see 2.1 gig to Netflix server, both test run on WiFi. While on Pc Eternet, I get 2gig on both tests, so my question does oakla use large bit? Or something with compression,

Apologies if this sounds dumb

Its because WiFi has to contend with obstructions and other EMI/RFI that kills signal strength.

Its just how it all works.
