It is in its simplest form which is pretty much all but eradicated when you use QoS.
Get a decent router, one which supports QoS. But then you have the wireless to consider if you use the TT junk for your wireless too.

No I use a separate wireless system from Plume so that’s no issue. I thought SQM in OpenWrt was QoS?
I don't know what they call it, different vendors sometimes call it different things.

The eero supplied by TalkTalk supports SQM you could try that to see if it sorts your issue. It's under Eero Labs > enable Optimise for conferencing and gaming.
I don't like the way you manage the settings needing an app/account etc so went back to my normal kit but the WiFi performance surprised me 800Mb/s + even in the next room.

I'll get one of those X86 jobs and pop OpenWrt or the thing you use (Tangle was it?) on it.
I am still a bit bemused how what you are describing differs from buffer bloat.

No idea what is up with the Apple quality test, this is over 1Gbit Ethernet:
I pay for 550/75

Changed my ethernet cable, a bit better now:
Upload seems a bit low

My point BTW was you get good scores even with BANDWIDTH not being limited? Compare to mine above, I can't see why yours would be so much better unless the TT Hub just is garbage

This is the Apple quality test with TalkTalk 900 over wifi (Can't find my usb-c ethernet dongle, will try wired when I find it)

You see high even with SQM off, I see medium. I do not see why mine would be different, I am on TalkTalk too but only 500

Everyone seems to be seeing better results than me even without SQM on TalkTalk

I'd try the supplied eero if you still have it that is what those results are with, I don't like how the management is cloud based so wouldn't use it long term but it's faster than my old Netgear D7000 when dealing with multiple connections so I'm in the process of setting up Utangle to replace the Netgear which considering it age does well to still hit the full 945Mb/s download just takes 30-40 seconds to get the multiple connections going to download servers when the eero does it in about 5. The Wifi through put on them also outperforms my Ubiquiti access points by a fair margin I'm not too fussed with that as anything that needs full speed is wired.Everyone seems to be seeing better results than me even without SQM on TalkTalk
Why your figures are significantly different than Dave's I don't know. Are you connected directly into the TT Hub? Have you used a cat5e or above cable?
Well binning their router would probably solve my issues but I thought you had to use it. I did plug my Asus direct in but fell sown at user / pass as i've got no idea what they were.
Where would I find them?
Can I use my own router with Vodafone broadband?

I believe 911 is only for Gigafast/City Fibre and possibly only for Milton Keynes and 101 is for some exchanges (but not all) on VDSL.
Contact Vodafone support on chat and they’ll post up the details so you can cut and paste them in.

Well that was easy, no resistance and just a short bit to verify it was me to get the user and password. I shall try this over the weekend.
Thanks!

Anyone here had the free TalkTalk Full Fibre upgrade?
OpenReach spent 18 months installing Ultrafast in our town and now TalkTalk are moving us over to Full Fibre by basically just sending an OR engineer with very little heads-up. Not a bad thing, I understand why, but I'm anxious as a homeworker that it's going to be a shambles as these OR visits tend to be.
My main worry is that we're shacked up in a pretty awful terraced rental waiting on the housing market to chill it's knickers, and this house in particular has no power sockets on the back wall where they will be running the fibre from (on any floor). Running an extension is feasible but not ideal. I wired a 5m extension around the skirting from the current line (same location where the ONT will likely be installed) to where I could plug in the router and use powerline adapters properly.
What are the chances they will install in the middle of the room where the sockets are? Can it be bent 90 degrees?
We're currently on Fibre 65 and sync at 77512/20000 - I assume I should expect the same/similar with FTTP and I won't be getting any upgrade beyond what I pay currently. Tempted by 150, but penny pinching for the benefit of buying a decent house in the nearish future, will I really notice any benefit when it's mainly my work machine/PC and the TV using the connection at any one time?
