As an update “and maybe just my experience” when I set the Geo-Filter to say cover the UK, then this works well and pings are around 20 – 30 ms, as is when I run the Xbox 1 network speed test, but it seems after a couple of days, the pings increase to around 152ms and gaming is laggy, if I then remove my Xbox from the Geo – filter list, the ping reduces down and gaming (BO3) is great again, if Xbox is re added to Geo-filter, again gaming is good for a couple of days, then goes laggy.
I have not investigated any further, but wondering if Xbox IP address is changing, or something annoyingly simple like flushing the Geo-Filter cloud I have overlooked, either way, for now, Geo filter is OFF
On a separate note, the DUMAOS QoS works really well, absolutely for gaming, the bufferbloat options is a must have ;-)
