If I'm getting speeds over 450 Mbps, do I still need to use Congestion Control? when CC is needed?

That depends on what your usage is.

 

If you get bufferbloat in your daily usage you should use them. I set them to 80% usually anyway with "only when priority traffic is detected" even altough I don't need them that much.

As above, general everday usage you probably don't but if you're a heavy downloader/streamer then it may be beneficial for you to use QoS. Not sure how much speed you're getting when it's enabled i.e. not disabled in Anti-Bufferbloat options but I would at least suggest using Traffic Prioritization if the speed isn't reduced that much so that gaming packets can be prioritized.

Using DSLReports website but I recommend using PingPlotter when saturating your connection and using different Anti-Bufferbloat percentages to find what gives you the lowest ping/most stable: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-how-to-test-your-internet-ping

DSLReport speed test has been broken for a while now so I haven't used it and PP I havent learned how to use it.

If you're using windows download the attached file and run it as administrator.... It will say "time=XX ms" which will be your current ping

 

Then while keeping the pinging window open, do a speed test on any site you wish... Could even download large files like linux installers

 

Adjust the sliders to keep your ping as consistent as possible

ping.bat
