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
