My suspicion is that the root problem was buffer bloat -- i flashed a new router with openwrt and was a little dismayed that the bufferbloat code is a plugin you have to enable. The buffer bloat got a lot better
Friends don't let friends run factory firmware. :) Hopefully sometime soon the SQM stuff will be added to the default openwrt configs for most of the supported routers, if it hasn't been already. It's been in my config since before the Luci support for SQM got created.... The big problem is that a lot of eyeball networks have a lot of CPE boxes that were created before the bufferbloat work was done, and often have no real motivation to push software updates to the CPE (if they even have the ability), and a lot of customers have routers that they bought at Best Buy or Walmart that will *never* get a software update. (I also admit having no idea what percentage of the intermediate routers in the ISP's networks have gotten de-bloating code.
