mix, what is comical is that an ISP be can sell us something (ie bandwidth) and then not deliver it and somehow that is OK. This is the life for many of us. If you have a rock solid speed the count your blessings.
luniq makes an interesting report. It is a fact that the ACC does not control the uplink speed it only controls the downlink speed. The hope is that the uplink speed will not be throttled often by your ISP. This seemed a reasonable compromise at the time and also it would greatly complicate the design of the ACC to try and control both simultaneously. Not sure it could even be done reliably.
If the uplink setting of 1.2mps worked at one time and then stopped working then it seems that your ISP must have throttled your uplink speed. That would lead directly to the problem you reported. Your response to lower the uplink speed in your router is the only one you could make. In our lives before the ACC we had to put the lowest speed we got in both the upload and download settings or QoS would break down. Now at least you only have to guess at the upload setting. So life is better but obviously not perfect.
On a related note I can report that today I added some new options to the ACC. In future releases the ACC will automatically determine a ping limit for you based on ping times it measures and your link speeds. There is also a new option which allows you to manually set your ping limit time if you want to experiment on your own.
Always interested to hear how folks are doing with the ACC. Especially real-world examples such as happened in this case. Don't usually see much on the forum about it which tells me either its working well or not many are using it.
