Factoid of the Week
High-speed
Internet providers love to talk about the performance of their services, which
can reach, on average, as much as 300 megabits per second, but what does not
get told to end-users is that the manner of their connectivity typically
affects that performance. Take wi-fi connections, for example. The location of,
and the power supply to, a router, as well as the presence of any other airwave
and wi-fi devices, can impair the remote connection between that router and the
end-user’s computer or tablet. In fact, according to a recent whitepaper from
content-delivery firm Akamai, most people only receive about 50% of the
performance available to them.
