[Bloat] Upgrading to 250Mb internet - dslreport results

250/250 results

 250/250 unshaped http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/36310277
 250/250 shaped to 240/240 http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/36310700
 250/250 shaped to 300/300 http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/36310832

I think I'll shape to 300/300 for now. This limits how high the initial
download burst can get while allowing the ISP to do the bulk of the AQM.
