Nope. Exactly the same.

Clean. On both hosts.

And even worse, after starting to mess with this, browsing is
_abysmal_. After taking a few speed tests online (speed.io etc),
upload/download and ping times seem good, but the number of connections
per minute are severely limited, hovering at ~700. A friend on the same
network, just down the street and with the same connection gets over
1800. We are connected to the same node. Whether these tests are
trustworthy, though, I have no idea.

I've tried to set everything back to the defaults, as I've documented
every change I've made, but it doesn't seem to help. I'll try to reboot
later today if I can, I have so much context up right now that I really
don't want to lose, but I haven't made any permanent changes yet, so it
should come up the way it was.

I really don't want to lose the extra 150Mbps I gained by increasing
MTU, though, as that would have an impact on my day-to-day workflow.
