Does MTU size have any effect on buffedbloat?

It depends if you have lots of errors (re transmissions) on your connection.  Larger packets take longer to re-transmit.

        You'll typically see one or two channels with high error counts caused by interference from other sources of EMF (OTA TV, cell phones, wireless speakers, etc).
