[ale] isp questions

[Jim Kinney]

I think my stuff was unclear.

When pulling from a location that could saturate my pipe 3times over, it did not saturate. 

When testing against a known, public speed test site, it saturated.

When running both at the same time, speed test was given priority.

All testing was done with a single system with a single 1g network line to the gateway device. That single line is fatter than my pipe. I can saturate that line in testing to other systems in my network.

If I run same testing but have 10G test on one outside IP and speed test on another, my line is closer to balanced - they keep bandwidth for all active connections - so the speed test values dropped.
