@Job, thnks for the test and for sharing the info. I'm sharing my thots here. The uplink rate is somewhat tooooo little and thus lead to all sorts of problems. Probably the reason they have issues on Egde. That 20:1 ratio applied on RX/TX is very wierd, seems a poor gateway allocation which in turn is poor design. Did telco enginners ever attend TCP classes to understand that sessions need bandwidth, why are they designing systems on a scheme similar to a UDP Receive only system? If Orange wants to provide a reliable broadband scenario, I'd think that they went for 4:1/6:1 basis to ensure data session have enough bandwidth to complete TCP requirements.  

 

How does this all affect you? So you download a file, while browse another page at the same time. The network will start to de-grade immediately file download session starts. And you cannot open another webpage even for basic browsing.
