What is something that I can make fail, either audibly or visually? Showing my grandmother ping statistics isn't going to work (;-)) Video call over 2.4 GHz wifi, then start the microwave. Glitchtastic every time. I'm not sure the Linux networking changes help with that (;-))
--dave Joking aside, is there a famously _bad_ video or audio site, one that everyone hates?
Or a setting for a service that makes it fail? Here's an idea - no clue if it's a good one.
Get yourself access to a low bandwidth connection: if the following table is correct (dubious source and video compression always varies depending on content) then you can easily saturate a 10Mbps DSL line with a 4K video:
Resolutions Required Bandwidth Required H264 H265 1280×720(HD) 3Mbps 1.5Mbps 1920X1080(FHD) 6Mbps 3Mbps 3840×2160 (UHD) 25Mbps 12Mbps 4096×2160 (4K) 32Mbps 15Mbps
(source: https://www.synopi.com/bandwidth-required-for-hd-fhd-4k-video/ in case the table got mangled into unreadability. )
Maybe you have a way to fractionalize your own network connection if you don't have access to 10/1 DSL.
With YouTube, you can select the resolution (although it's not very granular at the top end). If you can toggle CAKE on/off, see if the saturated line becomes unsaturated. If not, reduce the video resolution and repeat. YouTube's "Stats for Nerds" may also be helpful?
Aha, their stats aren't something I've looked into. Thanks! --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right. This will gratify System Programmer and Author | some people and astonish the rest dave.collier-brown@indexexchange.com | -- Mark Twain
