First, as I'm sure you know, RTT dominates when it's high enough...and our metrics show it being quite high on these links. For the first few seconds (which is what we care about), you won't get full use of the link's available bandwidth.
...but it isn't clear how much to believe any of them. No source has a full picture. The best we can say is that some services with high traffic are able to characterize their usage well in some markets.

...but this has also been sensitive to hysteresis effects: services that drop weight often gain users on slower links.

That makes me fundamentally suspicious of reports that say "users of our service are on <fast-ish link data here>". Many potential users may simply be unable to access them unless they're built to be lightweight.
