Setting ingress/egress to 10Mbit/s I expected to see the speed 
measurements bounce around those limits with the ping times staying in 
the low double digits of ms.  What I saw however, was the data rates 
going well past 10Mbit limit and pings up to 2000 ms.

This is what I've seen in prior rrul testing using a the 50/10 cable 
link at our office and my 25(ish)/6 link at my apartment and a well 
connected server on the net.  That however was using QoS and not SQM.

Its that a reasonable expectation?
