as some of you might recall, we spoke before about work we had been doing with our carrier partners to improve how they get visibility in to the quality of service for their traffic once their subscribers join WiFi networks like @helium and leave their cellular network
traditionally this has been a bit of a black box - once the subscriber is off their network, they have little to no information on the quality of the connection, how long it lasted, how much data was consumed, etc. this in turn led those carriers to act on the more conservative side when it came to making offload decisions
it's why Hotspot hosts would sometimes see traffic dips or long periods of time where no carrier offload occurred. carriers are becoming smarter at deciding where and how much traffic to offload based on economics (for paid contracts) but also based on the performance of both WiFi and cellular in a given venue
thankfully, at least one of our partners has now implemented upgraded mechanisms as a result of our QoS work, and we're starting to see the results of that change as of yesterday
I would expect to break ATH's over the weekend, as we might see 40-50% less rejections than we had in the past
