Comment on Breaking down broadband nutrition labels

"Packet loss" is more interesting to nerds than consumers, who don't know what it means. Arguably it needs a better name.

"Delays due to retransmission" is short enough to fit the label, and is what a packet loss means _to the reader of the label_, rather than to me.
