Routing through new ISP
-
So I just had a secondary ISP installed as a backup connection. I'm from the Philippines. While testing this out, I have 0 issues when I policy route a single test PC through the nee gateway (bridged ONT but behind CGNAT so private IP WAN address). But as soon as I route the whole subnet (mobile phones, pc's, IoT devices, etc.) there is significant random responsiveness issues. Videos start to lag, normal browsing starts to lag, etc. Routing back everything to my main ISP fixes the issue until I test it again.
I have an onsite tech visit from the ISP scheduled on Sunday but I'm sure they would just do a test where they directly connect to the ONT and remove my wholr network out of the picture and of course it would work without issues.
So I'm scratching my head left and right with this issue. Any ideas? The subscription is 200down/200up and when the issue happens it isn't even saturated.

Go to the gateway settings and state a public monitoring IP.
Then check the gateway status if there are packet losses or high latency.Also you can try a speed test to see if there are issues at high throughput.

@viragomann yeah, did all that. No packet losses. Good latency. No speed problems.

I have isolated the problem to my qbittorrent client. When this client is routed through the new ISP, it causes all sorts of loss packets in my network. I just have the global max connection limit set to 200 and nothing is downloading. There's a handful of torrents seeding but the total upload bw consumed is very minimal.
Is this normal for some ISP's?
