Hi,
Can I get an opinion on my speeds and router status? For reference my broadband package is: M500 Fibre Broadband.
This was fine until O2 moved me into Volt, I'm now below 300mbps previously on 300Mbps I was getting 340-400Mbps down, O2 moved me to 500 and I now struggle to get 300.
My router gets about 40-70c operating temperature (the room is around 18-19c)
Speedtests:
In-game latency 40-120ms.
Is this all okay/good? VM was meant to do work outside due to a faulty cable about 2 years ago but never carried it out (did turn up in a van but didn't get out - rain put the engineer off? Who knows).

Hi,
Yep. Still getting latency spikes, slow speeds (sometimes less than 100Mbps down 15Mbps up at like 3am where I'd expect the opposite).
BQM still high on the yellow chart, although admittedly I don't understand the graph 100% just based on seeing other people's BQMs on here mine seems a little more wild.
I struggle to playback Twitch|YouTube (non stop buffering and dropping).

@legacy1 I don't use QoS anymore.
Even when setup "correctly" it makes it worse. Tried both ASUS's QoS and FlexQoS. Manual and Auto values using SpdMerlin.
VM rep also advised against QoS due to 500Mbps or higher. Unless I have a VOIP / high priority device.
21ms / +293ms / +35ms BUFFERBLOAT GRADE C Your latency increased considerably under load. Read about how to fix bufferbloat issues.
I've an AmpliFi Alien kit arriving Tuesday (19th).

Hi ItsMyVMService
Thanks for getting back to us and providing the information and BQM's.
I've checked your account and live report again today and there does appear to be an error showing which we have been unable to remotely fix.
has your new equipment arrived or have you made any changes from your side?
Thanks

Hi ItsMyVMservice,
Thanks for letting us know you have received the equipment and for providing the BQM link.
How have things been since your last post to us? Have you noticed any improvements?
Thanks

Run the bufferbloat test with just a PC connected to the hub in modem mode with a CMD open running ping -t 194.168.4.100
