No increase in speed

[gloomyandy]

Like many I got the message to say my speed had been "boosted" from M100 to M125. I've rebooted my hub several times but I'm not seeing any increase in speed for either uploads or downloads (still getting 105/10). Tested froma wired 1GBit connection. My hub (a V2 superhub) runs in modem mode and has the following configuration:

General Configuration
Network Access	Allowed
Maximum Number of CPEs	1
Baseline Privacy	Enabled
DOCSIS Mode	EU DOCSIS 3.0
Config File	
Primary Downstream Service Flow
SFID	83962
Max Traffic Rate	143750047 bps
Max Traffic Burst	42600 bytes
Min Traffic Rate	0 bps
Primary Upstream Service Flow
SFID	83961
Max Traffic Rate	22000047 bps
Max Traffic Burst	42600 bytes
Min Traffic Rate	0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst	42600 bps
Scheduling Type	BestEffort
 

Hub version etc.:

Software Version	V2.39.02
Hardware Version	2.00

Any suggestions as to what may be going wrong?

what own router do you have?

maybe its got QoS/BWM enabled limiting your speed?

Ah that was it, I have an Archer C6 and it did indeed have QoS set, I would have sworn it wasn't on so your post prompted me to check!

With QoS disabled I'm now seeing 136/21 speeds so a useful boost!

Is there any advantage to running a QoS limit? I don't need to give priority to a particular device or data type, so would only want it if it offers a "general" advantage of some sort.

Depending on the QoS it can stop bufferbloat when you download or upload or say you want your TV to have priority and download on another device without causing buffing on the TV.
