Contended, over-subscribed cells can make “fast” networks brutally slow, transport variance can make TCP much less efficient , and the bursty nature of web traffic works against us. Their powers combined are going to fundamentally transform the optimal page-load for 2018 and beyond. I suggest we should be conservative.
