I wonder why noone is talking about the 'bufferbloat' issue, is-it a solved issue now?
Can I pick any router to plug into my ISP router?
Referring to "latency" or (my favorite) "responsiveness" is better.
And I was encouraged to see this recent ZDNet article that mentioned the "ping rates" of 600-1000 msec, and notes that these would cause videoconferencing or gaming to be unusable.

And as @giuliomagnifico points out, you can fix it yourself if you get the right router.
