Because you have a good home connection?

The average wired connection has 0% drop rate, losing less than a packet in a million. Try to use TCP on a shitty connection and it's a different matter.



Well, I do sometimes use it on a train. Of course I experienced connection loss when on a train, but I cannot say whether that's because I'm using TCP or the connection is actually that shitty. But you might be right.
