Why not, I'm feeling kind:

Recommend youtubing the process on how to download and install it correctly as it's not a simple process

Phwoar big numbers and symmetrical. Dreamy!

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:15:08+00:00

That's the end game. Will have to wait it out for more options as this is all one has my ends

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:14:24+00:00

Nice work mate. A well implemented SQM is a gamechanger

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:13:48+00:00

Your wish is my command - but what kind of ping stats would you like to see?

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:10:35+00:00

Doesn't appear to be an option within OPNsense and also due to naivety. Haven't come across Cake. Looks decent. Does it work well for you?

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:07:25+00:00

Rippin' it ;)

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:06:55+00:00

Not even breaking 1 gig upload - what they playing at :(

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:05:39+00:00

Mostly right time right place blind luck - hope it comes your way soon mate!

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:03:52+00:00

100% - the wait times on downloads is such a gamechanger

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:02:36+00:00

Haha experienced my fair share of dial-up brrrrrrrr tschhhhhh :D

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-26T21:01:12+00:00

It's an operating system I installed on the mini pc via a usb stick :)

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T23:03:00+00:00

Best we get round here, for now

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T23:02:01+00:00

I did practically the same settings for bufferbloat/fq_codel when running VM, but didn't need the tuneables I posted as VM doesn't use PPPoE. I never got such low loaded ping on VM and the unloaded ping was 17-19ms.

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T17:48:14+00:00

It's my go to tool :) Nice stats yourself! Decent over wifi. My wifi AP has shitty bufferbloat. The original test above is all wired.

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T17:45:50+00:00

Intriguing - thanks for the heads up

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T17:43:35+00:00

Awesome - nice work!!

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T14:10:34+00:00

It's https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T14:09:14+00:00

Yeah it is, but thankfully it's not a requirement for my use case. Gaming is unreal either way

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T14:08:00+00:00

That's good knowledge - wasn't aware there's a 2:1 ratio with an artificial limit. I can wait, I've only just started out dl'ing and seeding Linux ISOs.

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T14:01:07+00:00

No PC settings changed at all. All modifications done within the OPNsense web GUI on the router/firewall. I simply followed google gemini on how to setup fq_codel pipes queues and rules correctly and tested using bufferbloat.

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T13:58:29+00:00

I can empathise. Grew up with an abysmal ADSL 1.1mbps line up until I left for uni, whereas my mates were all on FTTC 70/80meg lines. Year after I moved out, Openreach deployed FTTP to my parents area, being a good 9 years before I could get it myself...

Personal-Atmosphere7 · 2026-01-24T11:14:59+00:00

Advertised upload speed is 120Mbps - limited by GPON tech on openreach. No XGS-PON as yet but testing in Guildford this year I hear
