One person reporting something is hardly confirmation.

Traffic management, at least at the level of the CMTS, does not work at a TCP flow level. It works per service flow, and all VM customers bar those trialling the WiFi sharing only have the one right now.

Something that does have visibility per flow, though, is the scheduler that runs on the CMTS. The Motorola BSRs have different schedulers from either the Arris or Cisco kit. If the issue is there it's not going to be fixed as the BSRs are almost all replaced now and what's left will be going in the not too distant.

Curious what people are using to test this, in terms of remote site and operating system, and whether the same issue is present on UDP flows.
