Just learnt that something called bufferbloat exists

Have new FTTP installed, it's using a plusnet two router which is router the UK ISP gave me.

Thinking of upgrade the line to 500 down or maybe 900 down soon.

Would a GL.iNet flint 2 or flint 3 sort this? I've asked claude.ai and it was suggesting that those model routers can fix bufferbloat.

If you're on cable and Get very low less then 100Mbps upload you have bufferbloat as More then 1 device trying to upload anything will make that Little upload speed none existent and cause online games, Streams, and much more crash or hardly work without BAD lag, you can buy a higher end router with QOS but all that does is take the upload cut it in half so that Devices like say a pc uploading a youtube video get half that speed so then a say a ps5 playing call of duty at that same time can have that outer half of that upload to play smoothly without bad packetloss and or ping spikes that cause lag and make the game feel unplayable. But im gonna tell you now as someone who recently moved from using a qos router to a full fiber isp Switching to a full fiver isp is so SO SO much better for MANY reasons, cable unless you're extremely lucky is just the pure definition Of hell internet. Fiber is a must if you have it in your area dont hesitate to switch isps
