I noticed the same effect on my DSL link - the SQM up/download speeds in the web GUI wound up at the sync speeds of my modem (the modem's gui to shows those speeds) and the latency stays under control.

As a DSL user I might feel disappointed if the instructions told me to reduce speed tests by over 20%, then left it to me to work out the rest. And then what I worked out were figures that didn't seem to make sense :). - I think the last three sections should be sub-sections of "The longer description". They're like an appendix after the howto itself. - You've catered to DSL users, but now the information about cable SpeedBoost is relegated to the appendix. Maybe fair for the moment as we don't have a concrete instruction for a "longer test". I've used testmy.net which lets you specify download & uploads in megabytes if you want, so maybe that's what it needs. - Thanks for writing up the install steps! I think those are really helpful, particularly when we encourage new people to try OpenWrt and SQM. Alan
