Xfinity internet 950 download, 24 mb upload

First off, just want to thank you guys for all the hard work you all do for the community and industry. I usually am pretty critical of the team/product when I post on twitter and that is not at a representation of how I feel about the people who do the work or even the people in the community who come and post feedback and criticisms. Having said that, firmware 3.3.280 is a masterpiece in my opinion, comparatively speaking to the other updates. Everything is much more in tune and operates as intended. The stability is great with the exception of the litle pingmap issue where the cloud wouldn't load even after reboots last week that seems to have worked itself out.
I do have some questions on server tick rate and such regarding smaller games that dont have the server standard i guess as other games. Like mlb the show servers tick rate never exceeds 10 and sometimes will shoot to 0 while call of duty warzone will stay around 20 the entire match. Also, the servers will disappear on the mlb game and youll have to reload the Geo-filter page while Call of duty maintains that steady read of ping without having to reload my page. Any feedback there? Maybe the game is smaller and therefore cant afford the higher quality servers?
Second, I have been experimenting with speedtests, cat5e, cat6 ethernet, connection benchmark tests, bufferbloat tests from waveform, auto-setup in the bufferbloat page and the ping optimization page on the mobile version but on desktop. All this to narrow down and connection and understand my own connection better. For years I just tried to make it the best overall conenction where everyone has diiferent experiences, cable or fiber, etc. instead of just focusing on my own. So, when i use my equipment, I have my xfinity router that comes with their service and place it in bridge mode with my r2. I get 950 mbps down, 24 mbps up when not in bridge mode using the xfinity router/modem combo as intended to be used in a normal household. When I use my r2 and have the router/modem in bridge mode, i get about 940 down, 24.2 up. This is interesting. I tinker with speed by overshooting, I will set download to 1000 and upload to 30 and run tests just to maximize the speed to see. So, I then run an auto-setup, it defaults to 100% down and 81% up (which is 24.3), 80% would be the 24 mbps. I play games, and it is great sometimes but others, not. Same with the setting at what my original test gives me at 24 mbps. Runs well sometimes but not others.
I never really adjust my congestion wheel because I read that is doesn't matter sometimes. I tinker with it but after a few hours or a day I go back because it will start running strange. I also set my MTU to the default xfninty MTU 1500 and things seems to run fine where I felt sometimes when I wouldn't set it, it would run slow/clunky. Any feedback would be appreciated or just general feedback.
