I've only been on BT's Full Fibre 500 + Halo 3 service for about 2 1/2 weeks and without any QoS enabled, I'm typically getting about 415-420 Mbps download and about 73 Mbps upload when there is no heavy use of the network (speeds reported by spdMerlin on my RT-AX88U). However, when my son uploads something from one of his apple devices, the whole upload bandwidth is used (according to the little graph I have on screen from my Networx app - see third image below) and the download speed can drop considerably, as you can see in the screenshot I have just taken. Some my questions are, should I be switching on FlexQoS, would it work at these kinds of internet speeds and would it provide any benefits? I've just taken a snapshot of what is currently connected to the network; sometimes it is more than this and sometimes less, but this example is quite typical and is usually a mixture of streaming (e.g., youtube, BBC iPlayer, etc) and general web browsing.
I've just switched on FlexQoS to see what happens and set it to 415/65.
