Seems like a lot of people on meshmap are using medium fast for some reason. At least in California.

Yeah, when mesh utilization gets too high, the mesh starts having issues because radios can't find an opening to transmit. I've seen a lot of the meshtastic subs for certain cities calling for everyone to switch to medium fast when utilization gets high.

I also keep my pocket mode on client-mute because there are usually much better positioned nodes around to repeat traffic, and mine was just adding to the congestion.
