Did a new set on the same PC located on the other side of the house. Will
also add the requested ethernet attached PC runs later. Just discovered
that you can click on the bufferbloat graph items on the DSLReports
Speedtest results, and they actually expand into a detailed picture vs time
graph. Never knew about that!
I disabled my virus scanner (Kaspersky) for the first time. Don't know if
the smoother and faster results are more due to that, vs maybe it's pretty
quiet on the home network front right now...
One thing I've been wondering about, is the speed setting in the SQM, i.e.
the 55mbit/5mbit in my case. Is it supposed to cap the data rates below
the setting? If so, why am I still getting my upload speed surge of 10 or
more mbit, even with it set to 5?
New set of tests on the C7, Toke's 11-24 build.
Same cake and piece of cake SQM as before, Noah's suggestion of removing
the extra SQM settings has been done.
SQM cap speeds: 55/5mbit
Other new change, virus scanner disabled.
Very smooth, near perfect speeds, only a very few high latency spikes. No
neighboring PC running videos, or gaming, like there was in earlier tests.
Maybe the upstairs roommate also wasn't as busy as well?
