test here http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest click the green dsl button to start, or fibre if you want, fibre is same test but with more threads , it measures latency during speed tests to check for buffer bloat.  My results are with the dsl test tho.

So here is first test on my old router, no QoS, CTF acceleration enabled.

Here is 2nd test after I got a router powerful enough to disable CTF and use QoS, this is with upstream QoS enabled, but due to a bug in asus firmware, no downstream QoS.

Here is a 3rd test after I manually configured some ingress QoS, (I have notified dev of firmware of fix).

The penalty for this is capped throughput rates, the upload was reduced by 10%, it may work fine higher tho which I will experiment with, I only reduced the downstream by a much smaller amount tho.  Also single threaded takes a larger hit as tcp is more conservative in growing its tcp buffers.

TBB test here.



So can see single threaded doesnt aggressively max its buffers and as such is slower.

This is much more effective than what plusnet's isp side shaping achieves.  The first result is when left to plusnet QoS alone.

I think you mean the speeds were reduced to 90% of the unshaped link speed (18.7mpbs -> 16.2mbps). But you could also take a couple minutes to experiment with setting the upload speed higher in the QoS setting and re-testing to see where the breakpoint occurs when your latency gets larger.

It would also be interesting to hear your subjective sense of whether the network feels better (voip/facetime/skype, gaming, general network browsing) while you're uploading or downloading files.

Thanks for the correction, in normal browsing when the connection is idle it feels the same, but if I am doing downloading or uploading at the same time its faster.

I plan to test with smaller hits on the speed, and have been experimenting since making the post as well.
