Recently setup a machine (Core2Quad on Intel DQ65CB with a 2 port Intel Gb NIC) with pfSense to replace the Huawei I've got - with the old unit I was getting around 700Mbps down speeds, with the pfSense setup I get about 100Mbps down and 50Mbps up.Going back to the Huawei, speed goes straight back to normal.I've configured the pfSense machine to be on VLAN10 with PPPoE, same as I have in the past for other fibre connections. I'm obviously getting traffic passing through the firewall, CPU and RAM aren't maxing out, no firewall rules, no traffic shaping, just a very plain setup for a start.I'm suspecting there is something else going on in the setup that I'm not aware of - the fact that it looks to me as though it has dropped back to effectively a 100/50Mbps connection suggests that the configuration for Gigatown may be slightly different to the normal UFB connections.I should also mention that this is on a Spark provided Gigatown plan.Anyone got any suggestions?
