imo the high bufferbloat rating is due to inconsistency, when u were on 200mbps plan u used to get around 240-245 mbps not more not less and now since the bandwidth cap is gone there is inconsistancy in speed and the rating but personally i wouldnt care about it as long as i am getting stable internet
the bufferbloat only comes into place when you are stressing your connection to its limits
i am also getting the bufferbloat issue due to uncapped static ip
@SpeedxThunder thanks for the information, I have been reading about it and what you said makes absolute sense, if I limit my bandwidth in QOS on my router to 220mbps the buffer bloat is getting an A.
And many are saying that the QOS is only useful if you stress your connection to its limits and if the bandwidth is less than 300mbps, anything more than that, and if you don't stress the connection at all times, there is no need to worry about buffer bloat nor the QOS.
@eatpepsi for Bufferbloat issue, your speeds are increased due to static IP and when you perform speed test the router's cpu and memory usage goes to its peak and hence it fails to manage Bufferbloat.
@eatpepsi as mentioned earlier with static IP you will most likely NOT get an IPv6 address. Try your luck. Set the v6 config to DHCPv6 and see what happens. I did not get a v6 address in my pfSense box.
I am frankly at a loss to understand why the heck someone with a static IPv4 also want a v6? Heck man it's only an addressing scheme and does diddly squat to improve your internet speed. Frankly it's better to stay on v4 for now.
I am with a dynamic public IPv4 for now. I also get a DHCP v6 address.
