An algorithm may work well with a wide variety of link speeds, as long as the link speed remains relatively stable over time.

but when the link speed changes too drastically in too short a time the queue size that was right for the old size is going to be too large (or too small) for the new rate.

The CoDel queue management algorithm

Looking at figure 7 in the ACM queue article, showing a wireless simulation with varying bandwidth, a 50Mb/s->1Mb/s transition takes about 20s to get the delays back under 200ms. If there's an intermediate bandwidth stepping, resorbing the queue is quicker.
