> We find that over fast Internet, the UDP+QUIC+HTTP/3 stack suffers a data rate reduction of up to 45.2% compared to the TCP+TLS+HTTP/2 counterpart.

Haven't read the whole paper yet, but below 600 Mbit/s is implied as being "Slow Internet" in the intro.

Gigabit connections are widely available in urban areas. The problem is not theoretical, but definitely is pretty recent / nascent.

A gigabit connection is just one prerequisite. The server also has to be sending very big bursts of foreground/immediate data or you're very unlikely to notice anything.
