I feel like waveform should be reported to the FTC.

They basically state that the solution to their test failing is a new WiFi router. That is not going to do much when the test is run from a wired connection!

I can change my “grade” from F to A simply by switching to the Vegas TCP congestion algorithm.

Maybe they were formerly car salespeople?

Switching to a router that supports SQM (ideally, CAKE) on the wan interface is the suggested solution. fq_codel on the wifi, helps a lot too, but first up is fixing the ISP connection.

Or an ISP can install libreqos, or preseem, or paraqum...

Ironically I ran tcp vegas and SFQ, by default, since roughly 2002, since I cared about voip quality in particular. The rest of the world, didn't. Thus fq_codel was born...
