XR1000 High upload ping

I know I have asked a similar quesiton about ping and using the connection benchmark and the QOS settings to adjust ping but there's been a few changes in my setup since as well as some new developments with my internet connection.  I need to start out by apologizing to the Netduma guys, I've been pretty critical of this routers OS since day one, blaming the majority of my issues with my router on it.  After yesterday's findings regarding my ISP, I can't in good concience ask anything without letting you guys know my problems were mainly stemming from a broken underground service line (which has been fixed) as well as the fact that my db level on my upstream was "on the floor" as the technician put it.  Apparently "the floor"  is the decible level where all the noise ie. (bad cable, wall jack, faulty router/modem, basically any and all interference from every service connected in the neighboorhood resides.  I was picking up ALL of it!!!  This explains the reason why my CPU usage was always through the roof, why I could'nt get a stable connection no matter what I adjusted, changed ect.  Basically my router has been trying to compensate for the entire neighborhoods bad connections.  The technician fixed this issue and I am getting full speeds to and from my XR1000 which is AMAZING!!!  Everything as far as functionality goes is working fine, gaming is 100 percent better for sure.  So I do apologize for blaming you guys for issues that were not caused by you.  

Now on to my question for the day:  I have done 4 connection benchmark tests to see where my up and download ping are since the fix.  The attached pic shows the upload ping soaring out of orbit.  I lowered the QOS to 70 and 70 and it actually mad the upload ping go even higher.  In the test pictured, the QOS setttings are at 90 up and 99 down.  It doesn't seem to be causing any issues but I wanted to know if there was something I should try other than the sliders to attempt to stabalize the upload ping a bit?
