Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the Internet Quality Barometer (IQB), a framework aiming to redefine Internet quality beyond ``speed''. IQB (i) defines Internet quality in a user-centric way by considering popular use cases, (ii) maps network requirements to use cases through a set of weights and quality thresholds, and (iii) leverages publicly available Internet performance datasets, to calculate the IQB score, a composite metric that reflects the quality of Internet experience.
