Maximize Cake-Autorate w/ SQM Jitter Reduction

Hello everyone.

I been reading and testing various setups of cake-autorate w/ sqm to reduce as much as possible. I been making great progress with my latest config but I want to push even further.I play FPS games and the reason how I noticed it is when I engage on fights I 'm reacting first, not getting killed or hurt as much as before and I'm able to move without dying while on gunfights (mainly involving more than one player).

My Internet connection is T-Mobile Home Internet which has been phenomenal compared to Optimum and had zero issues ever since.

I opened the ports for my game, attached a speedtest along with my SQM settings.

My current nat status in-game is moderate due to the T-Mobile Home Internet not have an option to make it open but still able to do matchmaking and join other groups in-game.

How much I can achieve the lowest jitter possible and ping?

Also here is the copy of my config for cake-autorate:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# *** INSTANCE-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION OPTIONS ***
# 
# cake-autorate will run one instance per config file present in the directory where
# cake-autorate is found (typically /root/cake-autorate). The config files must be in
# the directory in the form: config.instance.sh. Thus multiple instances of cake-autorate
# can be established by setting up appropriate config files like config.primary.sh and 
# config.secondary.sh for the respective first and second instances of cake-autorate.

### For multihomed setups, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the probes
### sent by this instance of cake-autorate actually travel through these interfaces.
### See ping_extra_args and ping_prefix_string

ul_if=ifb4eth1     # upload interface

# Set either of the below to 0 to adjust one direction only
# or alternatively set both to 0 to simply use cake-autorate to monitor a connection

adjust_ul_shaper_rate=1 # enable (1) or disable (0) actually changing the ul shaper rate

Thank you everyone!!

Can you take a moment to explain to me how you came up with your numbers for min, max, base on up/down? I started out with 150megabit download and 15 upload....tried picking 150000 for max, 80000 for base and 50000 for min....results were terrible....tried cake-autorate and things did not get better...I'm also on t-mobile 5g with the trashcan gateway which seems to use wan and ifb4wan. I am missing something.

i have a jitter problem please help

Sorry I only just saw this. We could optimise your settings if you create a data file as per the readme on GitHub:
