solved: suddenly getting latency with t-mobile home internet
-
this seems to have also broken my dynamic dns. I there any chance I can do something other than dump t-mobile? is this 100% nothing to do with my setup? I haven't changed any settings on pfSense for over a year. of course, I have latest pfSense, and rebooted both t-mobile modem and pfSense. I'm pretty sure that dynamic dns didn't break until I rebooted the modem, and I can see I got a different ip address now compared to cached ip address.
btw, speedtest results don't seem to agree with pfSense...

@Cloudless-Smart-Home have a look at
Solved: pfSense Gateway Monitor Showing High Ping with T-Mobile Internet
quote: "In System -> Routing, click edit on your T-Mobile gateway. At the bottom, click "Display Advanced". Under "Data Payload", set the value to something bigger. I'm using a value of 10 and it seems to be working, but smaller values may be sufficient. After making this change, I'm now seeing the gateway latency being reported at ~30ms. Yay!"
Maybe it's the same issue.

I'm glad it worked for you. All the praise goes to @meismyname for finding the fix.

Changing the title, how you did it, is excellent.

Hmm, that's interesting. I wouldn't expect larger packets to make any difference there.
