I didn't know Windows supported CUBIC.  The default AFAIK is Compound TCP, if it isn't NewReno.

In any case, it looks like the bottleneck isn't at your NIC (so your settings don't matter), but at the router terminating the fibre for the whole building.  That's the best place to mitigate the bloat, since it would work for the whole building's uplinks.
