Flood protection really only affects large numbers of stateless packets, i.e. where somebody is pinging your connection from outside. This isn't typical use, and really only affects pingtest.net and similar tests, it has virtually no effect on actual internet usage. Most internet activity is TCP, which is unaffected by flood protection, you don't need to disable flood protection to get a useable net connection. You only need to disable it for test sites that send a hundred pings to your modem per second.
also speedtest.net seems to be affected, which is only 4 download streams, that should not be triggering flood protection.
