OP this is the key. 70 Mb is probably ok. That’s what we have (4 people, 5 when my MIL’s here), and it’s typically plenty. Very rarely do we saturate bandwidth beyond bursting let alone have multiple people simultaneously trying to saturate bandwidth. However, all it takes is one beefy download or upload, and everyone else is screwed. Keeping everyone happy during those times, especially the gamers, requires not just QoS but QoS that can help with both bandwidth and bufferbloat. It’s possible to achieve with highly configurable QoS, but Cake is easy and effective.
