Actually, is not QoS what resolved the issue.
What made the diff is the tool to check the spped.
Testing with Xfinity and Ookla webtool always give apox 300 MB download speed

However, testing with Ookla native Application, give much better results, always above 700 MB (m subscription is for 600 MB though)

I think the web version is somehow throttled down by the browser or soemthing else, because using same ISP give diff results between native app and webapp.
I'm using Firefox and Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.330]
Hope it helps.
