Just a short update. The cable modem matters. Updated from Docsis 3.0 modem 
with bad Intel Puma chipset
to new model with Docsis 3.1 and Broadcom and things are much more stable.

As far as AQM, in this setup; fq_codel does much better than the Cake 
configuration. With fq_codel can
see 700Mbit download speed. It looks like Cake is using more CPU especialy 
since the Cake configuration
is using an ifb ingress queue discipline as well.
