Any recomendation on Anti -Bufferbloat with a slow ADSL 20mb down 1mb up settings.
I am currently useing 70-70 on the down and up but my upload being one mega bit could cause an issue.
- I'd leave Bandwidth Allocation alone for the moment. Would suggest using this guide to find the sweet spot for anti bufferbloat http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-test-your-connection

Depends on what you all have connected at once and what they are doing. Do you notice any problems?
If your devices are online one at a time, then you can raise the levels. I used to use 99% since I was the only one gaming at night. Would be the only time it was needed for me.

I use gaming pc 100% of the time but ocasionly my missis will want to watch netflix on the Xbox and the anti bufferbloat flags high priorty traffic and this is why I was thinking I need to make the most of this whole bufferbloat.

Well, when the levels are set, either way, the router will adjust them to the needs based on whats online and whats the traffic is. So If your gaming and the misses is online streaming once in a while, you'll have to see if the configuration is working for you while gaming or maybe adjust them on the down some. Might Raise the level a bit and test again. You might find a sweet spot that works for you. Again of your the one thats doing the most and only online when others arent' you can raise the levels some.
