Finally, we have an internet connection worthy of 2025. But the story behind it...

Our LTE connection was originally 50/10 Mbps, and the actual speeds remained the same even after increasing the speed to 100/20 Mbps. I spent a lot of time with O2 support, got a more expensive plan with unlimited speed, and a new, expensive 5G modem. But the actual speed was still 35/8 Mbps. I was losing hope.

Until today, when I discovered that in the Unifi Dream Machine settings, there was the Expected ISP Speed item with 50/10 Mbps values, which I had set there for the original speeds 3.5 years ago. All this time, I thought it was there to just set the scale of the chart, but it also works as an upper limit. 🤦‍♂️

@bastilian if you don't know your official/theoretical internet connection speeds, it's really better to set the values rather higher than lower. I really thought it was just for informative purposes. To set the right scale for speed test charts, to tell you what is your actual speed compared to the official.

I also disabled smart queues which they don't recommend for speeds above 300 Mbps, but I don't think it had any significant effect.
