        ok so I guess that error was to do with user...

        right now I've switched the nics around. for a moment I didn't had internet connection.

        But now back to where we were, 30mg speed.

        the only thing I forget to do was to test speed connected directly to pfsense which I will do.

          Do you, or have you ever, had any traffic shaping in that config?

          Definitely worth checking since it seems to be part of the config following the interface change. Though it could be something downstream still.

            Have never had and I don't think I have, unless I'm looking at the wrong thing.

                  Tomorrow I will try connecting directly. but I've replaced the switch, it would be very unlucky if both were to be faulty :/

                    Just wanted to add, that I'm using AdguardHome in PFsense. it's not the best config but worked so far and it meant 1 less hardware to buy and all dns/firewall was in one device.

                    I've followed this article: https://broadband.forum/threads/installing-adguard-home-on-pfsense.205884/

                    But like I said it worked until now. so not sure how this could also be throttling the speed

                      it doesn't look like it's causing anything. I've just turned that service off, rebooted and the same speed :(

                        SO...

                        End up buying new hardware. Restore backup and speeds are now good.

                        Thanks so much for the help @stephenw10 !!! Really appreciate it.
