Transfer kills to uploads and seek suggestions
You're getting 50 Mbps upload speed. Anything needing download must go through your upload connection. If you don't have any upload left, you can't download. I've never managed a Fiber line with such limited upload. That kind of low upload usually means Coax or vDSL setup.
When I switched to FTTP I turned off QoS because the upload limit impact was much smaller than with DSL. It’s possible the issue isn’t with the ISP but with WiFi itself. Their broadband is faster than their network can support, so overloading WiFi leads to problems. You might be dealing with a common challenge since your home uses fibre while clients rely on WiFi. WiFi transmits in one direction and has limited bandwidth compared to your internet connection, which can cause issues when it gets busy. If the problem lies with WiFi, consider adding another access point on a separate channel you use. Ideally, run an Ethernet cable near your PC for minimal distance. You could also replace the Optus router with a more reliable one. For telephone ports, connecting them to the LAN side of your router should work if you plug it in there. If you have 4G backup from Optus, it would only affect phone ports since it’s no longer your primary router.
