Right now, with it still set at 50000, I see 49.86Mb/s from my ISPs' speedtest.storm.ca.
I'll take your advice and turn off download policing.

I'll try to get it setup.... anecdotally, my ssh is really fast all the time.
I spend a lot of time ssh'ed into my SOHO desktop from my office, running
emacsclient in "-nw" mode.  In the pre-CODEL days, this resulted regularly in
me getting 20-40seconds ahead of the screen updates.  Post cerowrt/CODEL,
there were occasional periods of time when codel couldn't protected my typing
SSH from the ssh that was running sshfs/rsync.
(sshfs/rsync needs to invoke ssh with some option to make it apply DSCP to
the packets)

I'm think that with 10Mb/s up, I just won't care :-)
