This is nothing, when the backlog was around 200k transactions the confirmation time was higher and the fees outrageous

Well I don't see any difference in the fees yet even if SegWit is locked in,I still have to pay 7$ per transaction for get it to comfirm in next 6 blocks and 10-12$ to get it comfirm in the next 2 blocks this is really huge when do you think fees will go down?
SegWit won't make the fees go down, it will just allow you to use the lightning network side channels / hubs that will have no fees or super low fees.
That's pretty significant, isn't it?
