I get C on waveform.com while I get A on dslreports.com

Yes, I know my speed is not so great, but the quality is excellent.

I thought so too, but after unplugging it I got the opposite grades

Ooper

Though it would be worse tbh.

Probably close enough that it doesn't matter.

Just curious did any of you reboot your router/modem before testing?

player_0

jerc
...and I restarted the router after each change.

Aren't buffers hardware or RAM dependent maybe you are just limited by whatever is running the routing software. Bad Bufferbloat scores just seem to common.

You're right. Bad bufferbload depends on your hardware, but in my case, I would focus on the time of day, because if the equipment was to blame, I would never get an A grade.

Kind of pointless, but:

In UnrealTournament.ini, find [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]

Change KeepAliveTime=0.0009 from KeepAliveTime=0.2

KeepAliveTime means "Send a packet if there hasn't been a packet to be sent in this many seconds". The packet thats sent does not contain any data.

One side effect of doing this is that it makes your ping look lower in the scoreboard, for me with >=41 ping(F6) it's displaying at ~ 15(f1)

Wouldn't it mean that if I send an empty packet, I won't be able to be killed at that moment or the other way around?

Nicefu

Ooper KeepAliveTime=0.0009 I have zero changes... (F1)
But I know QoS really helped people in the game (fortnite) at 10...20 ping

In UnrealTournament.ini I found [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] and I changed the KeepAliveTime to 0.0009 as described. It improved my regen. time after being killed, significantly. Thanks for the tip.
