In reply to a post by ffx2boy:

Adding rules to a router does not help the average person with their upload QOS problems.

Odd. It helped me.

That's because you know how to do it, The average person does not know how to do it.

Not quite, my router has a button to select different QOS settings. I know how to press the button.
If you find out how to do it, can't you just publish your settings in this thread? That seems to be how forums are meant to work.

Remember most routers the average person has does not have features like that. Take for example the Technicolor TG582n it takes more than a button to make it's QOS work for gaming or VoIP.
Which is why I suggested to Chris Parr earlier in thread to make these rules pre-installed as it makes it easy for the average person to benefit from.

Perhaps the only rule you need is to prioritise outgoing ACKs.

what make you say that?

Given that Plusnet already run QOS on the downstream, that is one thing that will make a difference assuming you're saturating your upstream and is applicable to everyone.

Well maybe that might work, but in the end it would be PlusNet's upload QOS rules that would be used and I get a feeling that PlusNet would rather do it by installing game/VoIP rules or by backlisting traffic that would effect gaming/VoIP like file uploads and bit torrent traffic.

That's how they prioritise the downloads. Why would they do that for uploads?

You should do it to the uploads because it stops file upload traffic from taking to much bandwidth away from the game/VOIP in the upstream causing it to lag or cause a Voice call break up due to lack of bandwidth for it.
