I am on a cable internet service with a 100/5 speed plan. When setting the available bandwidth for the External interface, I've noticed when testing on sites such as speedtest.com, that my download speed will be limited by the Downlink setting and will not use all the available bandwidth. My connection (to certain local test servers) is capable of 116/6, but would be limited if I set the Downlink/Uplink settings to anything lower. Is this the intended effect?
The help file is a little confusing as it says that if there is more bandwidth available, it would make use of it. But setting the Downlink to something like 10Mb, would only allow a 10Mb download rate and never use the full 100Mb+ of bandwidth available. [:S]
