      My ISP package is 5.5mb and 900kb upload

      Im using Dedicated wizard

      But sometimes my speed drops from 3mb~4.6mb on morning to night I usually dont get the 5.5mb..

      Is it ok to leave the max speed in the download or i need to adjust it…

      Thanks for reading

        It depends, but in my case, a fullyhsaturating upload would cause ~600ms latencies, while downloads went from 14 to 40.

        When I enabled CoDel on my upload, the latency tops out at ~45ms. A noticeable improvement.

        Please correct any obvious misinformation in my posts.

            You're not shaping your downloads because everything is going to qLink and everything is under qDefault for your upload.
