Might be worth noting that the linked article describes how to configure QoS rules in pfSense.

This is speed as defined by latency and not throughput. This actually reduces throughput.

Depends. In the simplistic case of one or few flows consuming bandwidth, yes, he shaved off about 0.5Mb/s of his 13Mb/s. In the complex case of many flows, a tail-drop FIFO degrades to about 80% of the link rate because of current TCP implementations. BBR should fix most of that.
Codel, Red, and other AQMs tend to increasing the average bandwidth while minimizing packetloss and latency, under load. This is even more pronounced with high RTT routes where recovering of many lossed packets can take a while. Using an AQM like Codel reduces loss, and minimizing latency, which not only allows the flow to recover more quickly, but also reduces the aggressiveness of how much the flow slows down.
The first rule of empirical evidence is to know what you're measuring.

Fair enough.
I can see that as valid.
-
i got the comcast gigabit he is saying turn OFF traffic shaping?
with TS removed I got bad bufferfloat F
with it on set for 950 i get an C

I would set it to 930. iPerf on my LAN shows about 940Mb/s logical, and about 970Mb/s raw. Toss in some inter-frame overhead and you're at 1Gb/s.
