Optimization for crazy-asymetric DOCSIS connection

Hi,

I never liked slow internet connections, but well - sometimes life isn’t as perfect as it’s imagination :wink:
I’m now stuck for quite a while with 15/2 DOCSIS connection. While is rather OK for browsing the internet everyday trying to download anything using it is a horrible experience. As soon as I start downloading a file opening webpage becomes a challenge. Firstly I tried to explain to myself that my experience is affected by the fact I had 100/100 FTTB for few years, but it’s actually a real thing - opening this forum page took me 37s!
I don’t know DOCSIS stuff well (besides general terms and signal levels), but I think problem leads in upload - while file is downloaded trying to push anything out is a real problem.

Is there a way to make this connection usable? Even my 3G shared from smartphone is less fragile to downloading and browsing in the same time :confused:
Unfortunately there’s absolutely zero chance to get fiber here - the only alternative is another DOCSIS or even crappier ADSL.

Try to lower MTU for WAN interface.
