Why is this a bad thing?


Because 1) it’s not an actual problem, and 2) because the Internet relies on prioritization to deliver real-time services. As an example, alarm traffic is set for a lower priority (and capped bandwidth) than real time video traffic. If not, then a router bouncing could quickly squelch out your TV feed. Likewise, e-mail traffic is set lower than your voice calls. Would you really be happy with bits and pieces of your phone call being delayed for a day or two (or even several seconds)?
