Episode 4632

Description
When you hit "start" on a speed test, you're not measuring your internet—you're measuring a chain of bottlenecks, from Wi-Fi chips to ISP peering disputes. We break down how ISPs rig their own tools, why bufferbloat fools you, and what community benchmarks from Emirates A380s reveal about Starlink's aviation rollout. The numbers on your screen are a story, not a fact.
