Packet loss on FTTP on Speedtest.net

Where did I say VM took over in y2k?

Had 900mbit full fibre installed yesterday and noticed on Speedtest.net it was saying packet loss of about 6%. Looked back at previous tests on my old FTTC and it was 0%. Is this normal on fttp? Getting full speed and doesn’t seem to be any issues.

Just did another speed test and said 15% packet loss.

Where are you seeing a packet loss figure being given by Speedtest.net?

Has anyone got any experience configuring SQM que disciplines in OpenWRT?

I tried this config earlier:

I haven't noticed any problems yet. Cake seems to deal much better with network congestion than other que disciplines. I tested it on Geforce Now while playing, and sudden burst of downstream traffic didn't cause packet loss / congestion with it enabled.

Latency can spike to ~100ms, but it seems to cope well.

Thought I'd give an update on configuring SQM + Cake.

I accidentally put '20ms' into the wrong field, but it actually did what I hoped, no more latency spikes now, if another device on the network suddenly downloads while streaming a game / video.

Here is the option I used:

It's working perfectly now

You can choose the advanced option for egress as well, but I found that it wasn't needed and was best left alone.
