Not have VoIP or gaming get disrupted whenever a large upload runs.

On my previous ISP latency would reach 2000+ ms when I let Dropbox sync or downloaded a huge file. Even web browsing would time out. I used Tomato to prioritize DNS, my VoIP analog telephone adapter, the first 256KB of any HTTP(S) connection, and some 27000+ ports used by games.

My current WAN connection reaches 300 ms without fq_codel enabled. With it enabled there's no jump in latency.
