Netduma is featured in Omdia's insightful article, "Why Speed Alone Won’t Solve the Latency Issue," written by Research Director Michael Philpott.

This important piece addresses the common misconception that higher broadband speeds alone can eliminate latency problems, especially for real-time applications such as cloud gaming.

In the article, Omdia cites data from Netduma’s lab tests, highlighting how traffic queuing can lead to increased latency, even on high-speed connections. This emphasises the critical need for effective latency management in today’s internet-reliant society.

Omdia's research concludes:

"As the supply of high-speed broadband services become ubiquitous and outpaces application bandwidth requirements, one might say that from a marketing and service differentiation point of view, latency management is even more important than top-line speeds. Therefore, expect best-of-breed latency management to become an important part of broadband marketing and pricing tiers moving forward."
