Test - Network Jitter

Wireless signals are prone to interference. Switching to an Ethernet cable is the most effective fix.

Run this command 10+ times and note the times: test network jitter

At first, the returns are rhythmic. The output scrolls like a metronome. time=14ms time=14ms time=15ms time=14ms Wireless signals are prone to interference

This is the illusion of stability. We are taught that the internet is instantaneous, a series of nows connected by light. But the packet— that tiny envelope of binary truth— does not experience "now." It experiences distance.

Testing is critical for real-time applications where packet order and timing matter.
