The traffic is being prioritized as shown in wireshark, it's just that gaming still feels off/delayed.
Looking at my FECs, they're going up at an average of 27000 per second (current total is 2092039457 / 72 after 2 days uptime). Would this make gaming feel delayed/unstable? Here's the full line stats...

Ive also been getting some connection drops recently and my line seems to be banded at 40mb.
Saying that for the past 3 years or so gaming has felt off, first 2 years of that being on bt infinity 2 and the past year on Plusnet over 2 houses next door to each other. I've had 5 or 6 engineers out during that time, they come, dabble around a bit then I assume go to the cabinet then come back and dabble a bit more, then leave saying all is fine (line reset). It usually is fine for a while but eventually goes back to how it is now. Usually, after an engineer has been, the line performs nicely for anything from a couple of weeks to a few months and that's when DLM whacks interleaving on and I start getting tons of errors. The errors above are the most I've ever seen though.
Every engineer that's been out has also gone on about how [-Censored-] the network is round here. It's old aluminium wiring, and the last engineer said it's on it's way out and the cables are knackered/failing)
Why won't Openreach replace this old junk wiring?
