Helios posted : How about you stop complaining and learn the difference between asynchronous connections and synchronous connections. They call it 'A'DSL for a reason. If you're saturating your upload speed, of course you're going to have higher latency. The same could be said for any kind of connection, if you are oblivious to traffic management and let things run hog wild in your home (uTorrent 24/7 for example).

Have you once done a tracert to the gaming servers to see who is at fault? I highly doubt it. I'm taking a bet and guessing that you are playing on an eastern server, which has no peering agreement with TELUS. Also, do these speed test servers have peering agreements with TELUS? If not, well your testing methodology is going to be busted because you're being limited by the speed and quality of the other ISP's network.

Last not but not least, you have not mentioned once what your gaming setup is. Are you using a PC or a console? If it's a console, then all that traffic is going to be routed through XBL or PSN, and that also adds latency.

To be blunt, you need to be more educated on how this stuff works instead of blaming the ISP for every single network performance issue you come across.

Until you have, you have no right to complain about 100ms of latency.

What does that have to do with anything, what are you ten years old? Grow up!

Everyone else in this thread has a very low bufferfloat rating

Only a handful of people respond with test results and almost all have poor bufferbloat results. Most people I know are getting close to 350-400ms bufferbloat on upload tests so don't act like "there must not be a problem," even 100ms seconds is far too high. The buffer size the way it is now is only good for uploading files where you won't really notice spikes in latency, but video chatting is very poor because of the bufferbloat on the upstream and the same goes for online gaming. These are applications people are using now more than ever before, but Telus acts like people that use the internet for gaming and video calls are a small part of their demographics and so they do not need to worry about the quality. When I call in and talk to tech that is what I am told. I am a Telus customer so I am complaining about Telus, but from what I see and hear all companies are dismissive and this behaviour is loop hole in net neutrality and it needs to be plugged.

Is that a law or just something you would like to make a law? If you have nothing constructive to add stay away, Please. Stop wasting everyone's time with such posts. You obviously work for Telus why else would you be trying to divert attention away from real issues such as Bufferbloat.

Who said anything about making it a law? It makes the place very difficult to read when you switch names like you've been doing since you cannot attribute one person's complaints and issues to one person.

Prejudiced against what, exactly? I don't work for Telus, and I'm not trying to minimize the issue at hand. Everyone else in this thread has a very low bufferfloat rating so it doesn't seem to be a systemic issue, however.

A few days ago I tried my Linksys WRT600N with DD-WRT on port 1 bridge and set txqueuelen over Ethernet to 2 and was met with far worse bufferbloat.

Read this page, it may help you set your txqueuelen size correctly.

Muncher posted : Yes, my router is bridged via port 1 on the 2200. Not familiar with the linksys router, see if you can reduce your connection speed a bit on the upload side. That may help.

How did you fix the Bufferbloat?

Went looking for info online, followed recommendations,
set the QOS for udp and tcp. Made sure that the MTU size was correct, 1500 for me, some may need to reduce that. Notice that the speed is slightly reduced, fine but upload bufferbloat is reduced. Skype works perfectly now everytime. Game play is also better (kids opinion) BTW they play those fast twitch games you mentioned. Downloading from my server, my family noticed a speed up. So thanks for mentioning this issue.

Are you bridging? I don't see any options on my T2200H to set the MTU (which is default 1500 I believe) or any QoS settings.

anon posted : Those games you will not experience bufferbloat to the point that it affects the game play, but fast twitch multiplayer games such as Destiny crucible or Battlefield 4 become unplayable because of poor peering and bufferbloat and the ISPs know it. With more line quality tests becoming the norm and consumers gaining a little more insight into the causes of poor connection problems companies like Telus will I hope not be able to hide and deny there is anything wrong while full well knowing there is. I would like to use my Upload for gaming and Video conferencing and it is well known that upload bufferbloat is causing these applications to suffer and if things do not change I will find another provider and get others to change providers as well.

anon posted : When gaming we are doing nothing else, but more now than in the past we can feel the connection bog down as the input gets terrible lag spikes and from what we are told it is bufferbloat effecting our upload. Every time the buffer has to drain it takes close to 400ms and we can feel it while playing. If we were to bridge the router and use our own are we able to set the buffer size or is it set outside of the router and out of our control?

Don't max out your upload while gaming... If you aren't maxing out your upload, buffer-bloat won't bother you
