        Hi @aholmes5

        I have the same issue. I connect my Fiber WAN on SFP+ 10G on netgate 6100 with a 10GTEK sfp+10G and my unifi switch on the second WAN on SFP+ 10G on netgate 6100 with DAC 10G cable but my download speed is reduce of 80% but my upload is fine.
        Do you found a solution ?

          Are you seeing errors on the interfaces?

          Do you have any traffic shaping?

            I see some error on interfaces and no traffic shaping configured.

                No errors shown there. So some on the WAN?

                How are you testing the throughput?

                    Hmm, not really a significant number there. Nothing that would cause throttling to that extent.

                    What about the PPPoE parent interface? Which I assume is ix0?
                    Try: netstat -i and ifconfig -v ix0

                        Ok huge number of input errors on ix0. That's what you'd expect for bad downloads.

                        You have an XPON module in there I assume? Can you access that to get stats?

                        You can check the sysctl output for ix0 to see what type of errors those are: sysctl dev.ix.0

                            OK similar to the other user, no one error type:

                            However what's different is that that isn't an XPON module it's just an 10GbaseT module.

                            Technically neither type is supported by the X553 NICs because they don't have the data lines to detect the link type.

                            What exactly is that connected to? At what speed?

                              It's connected to my ISP router on 10G Ethernet port.

                                Is the ISP router actually routing? Is it actually linked at 10G?

                                One option here would be to just use one of the IGC ports. But that would be limited to 2.5Gbps of course.

                                  No I just use ISP router for the PPPOE. Yes its linked to 10G.
                                  Finally I order a XSPON module to completely bypass the ISP router, while waiting for the module to arrive I use the IGC port and it's works good.
                                  Thanks you very much for your help.

                                    Yup those RJ-45 SFP+ modules are not supported and actual function can be very variable. Some users have reported success with some modules but there's no real way to know any many don't work as expected.
