Current QoS Settings / Current QoS Classification

Unfortunately Tomato's QoS (like most home router) relies on a reliable knowledge of the upstream bandwidth. When VM pull the rug out from underneath if STM style, if falls flat leaving you back at square one.

The settings themselves look OK, although as a general rule I'd suggest keeping them as simple as possible. If you over complicate the rules you run 2 risks - first that they don't work as you expected and you can't work out why, secondly that you end up asking the router to process too much and it results in slowing down the BB connection anyway (the reason I moved from DD-WRT to Tomato originally).
