2 houses + office + mom and kids on internet all the time and if I lag playing my games (jamming Black Desert atm) there'll be murders.I will take that London latency over my current lte latency any day, not too worried about the speeds.
Any reason you wanted the 1000/1000 specifically or just because?
10/11mbs
Makes sense, hopefully @AfriNatic can help you out soon.2 houses + office + mom and kids on internet all the time and if I lag playing my games (jamming Black Desert atm) there'll be murders.
That's why I have 3 ISP's as is. Plan is to cancel all that and just keep the fibre.
You just need good QoS. My edgerouterX, using a 50mb line, and entering "50mb" as the linespeed, nothing else (some QoS setups are complicated), one can download at max speed while ping stays normal and flat. I admit, you sacrifice a few mb's in speed, speedtest reads 45 instead of 50.2 houses + office + mom and kids on internet all the time and if I lag playing my games (jamming Black Desert atm) there'll be murders.

Try the tcp scaling settings - maybe its windows?10/11mbs
Word of warning, when I had gigabit, the edgerouterX QoS tops out at 400mb, not enough CPU or something.Makes sense, hopefully @AfriNatic can help you out soon.
I'm using the 8 port TP-Link TL-SG108.
Should I get something else?
Thank you. I will do this for you tomorrow I have to go out in a bit. I'll let you know the results once I do.Hi,
Please run the below command as admin.
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
Reboot. Please connect to the ONT directly for a few tests. No need to activate the connection because it will ask to activate. Please do speedtests using the speedtest.net app.

Uh great Microsoft Store can't see I'm connected to the internet to download the app.
Can't do international.
Ok hang on to your horses guys now its looking way better.Yes indeed but when it comes to logging faults for a 500Mbps and 1Gbps line on Frogfoot it's one of the requirements.

The network spikes to 95% and 99% when testing CPU highest I saw was 36% something I was a bit slow on screenshots but here you go - 3x tests and the last one is during.
Thank you very much I am a happy man.Much better. The browser was the bottleneck.
