A load balancing question: How to maximize bandwidth for the clients both upload and download on multiple gateways?

We have just replaced Cyberoam CR35iNG - 10.6.4 MR-1 with Sophos XG135 (SFOS 17.5.3 MR-3)  and then I've set weighted round robin load balancing instead of session persistent one to maximize both upload and download speeds. It helps a bit but not as much as Cyberoam did.

 

My command in console was like below:

set routing wan-load-balancing weighted-round-robin

 

Speed test of Sophos:

I test weighted round robin load balancing at the site ping.eu where I can check the actual IP. When Cyberoam is active, every F5 hit returns another wan IP of 4 lines. When Sophos is active I need to hit a few times to see different IP. I mean setting the round robin method doesn't help much.

 

We have 4 cable lines, 100Mbit DL, 5Mbit UL, each. Combining them would be nice as we did with Cyberoam. Is there a better setting then I mentioned?
