I will allow others to speak for themselves.

Games, voip and skype are much better now. I get less complaints from my
family regarding Internet Connectivity.

Concerning the relevance of IETF standards to this effort, Ish asked a
question regarding the relevance and applicability of standards in the IT
world today. I disagreed with him, as I saw that CISCO, Juniper, and the
other big companies are fighting tooth and nail to influence the IETF
standards, and therefore the market itself.

Ajay and a few other people asked about the availability of fq_codel
directly from the ISP without the need to go for a 3rd party firmware.
