These results are not bad, and if they are constant I would call it a win.

But as mentioned by @meyergru you may have differences due to congestion algorithms. On Win10 I think the default is CTCP or CUBIC.

I personally run BBR on Linux.

bat /etc/sysctl.d/bbr.conf

   2 │ net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr

Networking is love. You may hate it, but in the end, you always come back to it.

It was worth a try guys, but I'm not seeing a difference between BBR and CUBIC on my system.  At least the loaded latency in all cases doesn't go above +10ms.
