zombitroid Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 When use the congestion control settings and set them to 65 (which is what I have found works best for me when gaming) loading youtube vids is extremely slow. I know that I am supposed to set it back to 100% but sometimes I forget. Is this normal I thought that when you set the congestion control settings that it is not supposed to slow down your internet. Am I just wrong? My internet speeds are good so that is not the issue I get 20 down and 1 up. Thank you to all for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted September 2, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted September 2, 2015 The congestion control will slow down your internet. In your case if it is at 65% you will only be able to use 65% of the speeds you have when it is set to 100%. Only way to really fix this is to either increase the sliders so if you do forget it doesn't matter. Or remember to slide them back to 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 2, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 2, 2015 As well as what Crossy has said, it also depends on what quality you are attempting to load the videos on, for example 4k would definitely be a struggle.

PUBzZz Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 What's the rule of thumb or general idea behind lowering the congestion control? Is there a real benefit to it? I have a 120 down / 40 up. What should I be looking to lower the sliders by percentage wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a real benefit to it? I have a 120 down / 40 up. What should I be looking to lower the sliders by percentage wise? The idea behind lowering it is that it prevents any lag/buffering/loading etc caused by other devices in your home. For example someone downloading a torrent whilst you're lagging may cause your game to lag uncontrollably. By lowering the sliders you prevent this from happening but you can still download and play at the same time with no effect on ping etc We usually recommend 70%/70% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizvandutch Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I leave mine at 100% because I don't use other Internet bandwidth when I game. Or should leave it at 60-70% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
