Network Instability: What It Is, What Causes It, and How to Fix It

Network outages are easy. Something goes down, alarms fire, you fix it, life moves on. Everyone understands a full outage. It's clean, binary, and at least somewhat predictable. Network instability is the opposite of all that. Nothing fully breaks. Nothing fully works. The ping responds. The connection shows active. And yet users are complaining about choppy calls, sluggish apps, and sessions dropping for no apparent reason. You run a speed test, and it's fine.
