Have you invested in a Wi-Fi 6E-compatible router yet? Perhaps you never will, since the next-generation Wi-Fi 7 standard could appear in iPhones beginning in 2024.
Sounds very exciting for the 5 people that have an internet speed of higher than 1 gigabit
I’m joking, it’s cool that we’re starting to support this standard from now. The improved latency is interesting because I was always under the impression that the router is the bottleneck.
Noooo! You guys are missing the big use case for WiFi 7: VR headsets
It’s finally going to have the bandwidth to stream SteamVR to dual 4k-ish displays without hiccups in actually high definition (no noisy compression). Even if you have to dedicate a WiFi AP for the task it’ll be vastly superior to the situation we have today which can suffer from significant lag spikes and poor quality.
I’ve done streaming VR with a dedicated Wifi 6 AP on my Quest 2 headset and the occasional lag spikes made games like Beat Saber unplayable (and I was only about 4-5 feet away from the AP).
Oh wow, what’s wrong with Germany? Even UK has it cheaper and UK traditionally has the most expensive internet in Europe due to some British Telecom monopoly issues…
Germany has not only expensive internet it’s also not reliable. Most of the problems seem to be historical and privatisation. Also the infrastructure is problematic, with most people not having even the ability to get gigabit connection.

Or the people with local media servers with multiple terabytes worth of movies on it
Be really cool if you could use a net to grab the data out of the air
Lol what kind of relativistic packet capture are you describing?

Every monkey has a gigabit at home https://balticom.lv/lv/internets I mean €18 per month is not that expensive.

Government thought it was a good idea to let a single company handle nearly all of our web infrastructure
Now as an Estonian, I’m not a fan of occupation, but… y’all down south have some nice internet pricing, would you like to annex us?
