Regarding bloat testing ping on my test at dslreports.com it is done with web sockets so is sensitive to
a) how busy the single threaded javascript engine in the browser is
b) whether you are using https or http
The degree of vagueness depends on browser and CPU speed and how fast your connection is generally however I would not suggest that it is as accurate as a UDP or ICMP ping given the above factors.

I'm on a TalkTalk FTTC connection in the UK, with a sync speed of 58976Kbps, via a Billion 8800NL in bridge mode to my TP-LINK Archer C7 (currently running LEDE r1348) with sqm-scripts 1.0.7-1 and mod-sched-cake 4.4.15+2016-06-29-747..5-1.

I have selected cake as the qdisc and piece_of_cake.qos as the queue setup script.

I've managed to get bufferbloat under control, with only 3-4ms of added ping when downloading but I've had to set the ingress to 43000, reducing my speed not hugely but more than I might have expected.

On the upload side I'm syncing at 10422Kbps and the egress is set to 9300, so not quite as bad. Bufferbloat here is also under control, at maybe 2-3ms when downloading.

Is there anything I can do to reclaim more of the download speed? How can I diagnose this?

The other question I would like to ask is, what's the absolute best way to see what the ping maximum actually is? With speedtest.net the ping only increases 1-2ms (pinging bbc.co.uk) and the same is true for dslreports.com (maybe a little bit higher, maximum of about 5ms) but on the dslreports.com site it says 9ms+ at times?

Thanks.
