So, in other words, they figured out why we get screwed on wifi, engineered a solution, but warned us that we would still be getting screwed even with the solution? This is like learning how an atom bomb works during its’ descent to the target drop zone. That you happen to be in.

They’ve sure got lots of data. Too bad they don’t have the most important thing: how many networks are sharing the same WiFi channel.
