Un-top-posting... Not only does it look like you're not hitting 600kbps, it appears you're hitting right about 512kbps max. Did your provider sell you on a 1mbit connection but in reality thats 512kbps upstream/512kbps downstream? Also, can you clarify what type of connectivity you have - cable/DSL/fractional DS1/wireless/satellite/etc? And, what are the specs of the box you're using for pfSense? Your next test should be to plug into your connectivity bypassing the pfSense box. Check your speeds. If you're seeing the same speeds, it's likely your provider. If you're seeing better speeds, time to check your pfSense box specs, memory, NICs, bus(PCI/PCIe), CPUs, etc. Also, you'll want to check for duplex/speed mismatches on the WAN and LAN interfaces as they can severely degrade performance if mismatched. --Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
