With today's traffic load it would not be. Lots of elements in internet traffic. Transmission links, routing, header checking,etc. It all has to be fast. In addition to Akamai, proliferation of fiber has helped a lot, not because of speed, but because of bandwidth and ability to multiplex a lot of traffic. If congestion develops buffering slows things down a lot.

If you want a real trip, try doing stuff on a geostationary satellite link. Takes forever with near 1 second ping times.

It's like a cat whose head is in San Francisco and his tail is in New York. You pull his tail in NY and he makes a noise in SF. It's the same, only faster.

One of my best friends spent 17 years at Google solving this problem. Another acquaintance of mine did the same thing at Akamai in Boston. Their jobs could be described as "make the internet faster."

Yeah well Google wants to do AI now, so the people who used to make the internet fast are getting recruited by the NSA instead.

Maybe we should try calling people again instead of using the Internet. They may be at parity in terms of speed.
