alright so i did everything you said and i havent checked for a difference yet but how does limiting my bandwith to 70% up and down work to give me the lowest ping and what about devices that need that speed does me limiting the sliders take away from my speeds like i get 470 down without limiting my speeds but when i drag the slider to 70% it brings it down to 323 download

It ensures that no one device can saturate your bandwidth, ensuring your ping stays low. You won't notice much difference with speeds other than on a speed test

ok so if while im streaming its lowering my speeds so im only getting 2.84 out of 8.4 upload on my pc now the obvious thing would be toup the upload speed allocation to 3.5 upload since i stream at 3500 bitrate but wouldnt that be making other devices in my house slower?
- Netduma-FraserAug 31, 2018NetDuma PartnerYou should have a total of 8.4 when using Anti-Bufferbloat at 70% so then if Bandwidth Allocation has share excess enabled for both download and upload your stream should be able to take the 3.5 upload it needs if other devices don't need it. If not then allocate that and try it. If still an issue then disable share excess on upload. Most devices don't use upload a lot so they shouldn't be impacted.
