We recently came across a similar situation. The previous ISP was using low modulation rates as a way to limit the customer bandwidth because they lacked any other mechanism for doing so. So a customer with a 10M commit rate plan was being set to MCS1. 20M got MCS3, etc.
So wrong.

I would do this on fringe clients with low signal so it would stabilize the modulation. When the modulation jumps around the throughput was worse.

I've never seen a configuration like this nor have I ever heard of it being done. Why would someone do this? What possible benefit could this have been? I think it is related to interference mitigation but several of the clients I have undone this setting on are already modulating much better (obviously) thoughts?
