Hi, Justin,
Thanks for the explanations. So the grade is for the user not the ISP?

I just have to point out that the below jumped out at me a bit. A user
can fully use the link bandwidth capacity and not have an unacceptable
latency. After all, that's the goal of AQM. But, yes, there are those
pesky lurking buffers in the path which the user might unhappily
use to their full capacity and then latency can be unacceptable.
