Less bandwidth, less congestion?
my router has a feature that optimizes bufferbloat by adjusting bandwidth accordingly.
Apparently preventing network bottleneck.
My question is: im on gigabit speeds.
Would dropping to the 500mbps plan help mitigate some if this congestion for smoother signal?

Do you mean downgrading your Cox data plan from gigabit to 500 Mbps? Router aside, have you ever measured anything above 850-900 Mbps at your modem?
Downgrading won't cure congestion; however, if Cox can't deliver, I'd downgrade to whatever you've been measuring. If you're only getting 300 Mbps, downgrade to the 300-plan.

As far as this BufferBloat feature, has 1 server ever been a problem? It appears to be the entire Cox connection to be the bulk of the reported problems. I mean...when has Netflix been screaming but Youtube at a crawl? I think both would be at a crawl, no?

Who installed your tap? What happens if you replace the tap with your splitter? Where does the second leg of the tap go?
