A full line is not a slow line — but it feels like one. Bufferbloat turns about a millisecond of idle delay into tens of milliseconds the moment someone starts an upload. Speed tests keep passing while the complaints keep coming.

Plan rate is what you sell. Latency under load is what decides whether they call you.
Congestion is signalled rather than caused. Marks instead of drops, so a video call and a large upload can share the same line without the call breaking up.
When one device saturates the line, the rest of the household should not stop working. Flows are isolated so a single heavy sender cannot take the whole queue.
Gaming, voice and interactive web are kept snappy even when the line is full — without asking the subscriber to buy a bigger plan.
Deliver the plan rate precisely, make it feel fast, and hold latency down under load — in one data plane rather than three appliances.
The gateway learns what normal looks like for each subscriber and acts on the ones that drift, instead of waiting for a ticket.
Measure, scavenge, score and remediate — subscriber experience as a number you can act on rather than an opinion.
Eight technical briefs cover latency and subscriber experience in detail.
A proof of concept runs on your own x86 against your own subscribers. Send subscriber count and busy-hour throughput and we size it with you.
