We've introduced a lot of improvements to our #LibreQoS #Bufferbloat #Speedtest as of late.

For example, there are #ISP rankings available now, with 649 #ISPs as of now: https://bufferbloat.libreqos.com/rankings/

#PSA on improving #Wifi quality

1. Reduce the distance between the wireless access point (this is your router unless you know it isn't) and the device going online
2. Take as many wifi devices off wifi as possible. Power off, in a drawer, not fighting over wifi spectrum. I do this by hardwiring as many clients as I can. You can run one cat6 back to your router and run a switch inside your office or entertainment center, for example.
3. Consider a mesh of low power APs instead of one shouting AP. (I've found an administration overhead with this, but it's a nice idea.)

Related networking tips:
Consider running Openwrt and a #bufferbloat algorithm like CAKE or fq_codel. If what you're doing works, don't bother, but if you have lag in VOIP calls or gaming, it's worth doing.

This is not hard science, but anecdotes I've built over time. The Openwrt forum has some smart people if you can speak their language.
