Consumers really need things like published performance specs so they can
assemble their needs like an a la carte menu. What do you do, what’s
important to you, what details support that need, and they need that in a
simple way. Like a little app that says “how many 1080p TVs or 4K TVs,
how many gaming consoles, do you take zoom calls or VoIP/phone calls. Do
you send large emails, videos, or pictures.”
The problem is that these needs really are not that heavy. Among my ISP
connections, I have a 8/1 dsl connection, even when I fail over to that, I can
run my 4k tv + a couple other HD TVs + email (although it's at the ragged edge,
trying to play 4k at 2x speed can hiccup, and zoom calls can stutter when large
emails/downloads flow)
realistically, any router can handle this speed, the question is if it has
fq_codel/cake to keep the bulk loads from interfering with the other work.
Even starlink roaming is higher performance than this :-)
