Use a router with FQ_CODEL and be amazed at how much you can get onto a pipe without any perceptible difference in the experience.


I did that, after a meltdown and yes it made a huge difference. I don't understand why CPE don't implement it by default.

Can I ask a really dumb question? Consider it an xmas present. I know this sounds like "nobody needs more than 640k", but how can household possibly need a gig let alone 10g? I'm still on 25mbs DSL, have cut the cord so all tv, etc is over the net. If I really cared and wanted 4k I could probably upgrade to a 50mbs service and be fine. Admittedly it's just the two of us here, but throw in a couple of kids and I still don't see how ~100mbs isn't sufficient let alone 1 or 10G. Am I missing something really stupid?
