      Ok, well what is your pfSense hardware?

      What speed do you see if you connect the PPPoE directly to the client?

        @Grapeape22 said in Is there anyway I can improve PPPoE speed:

        10MB down load

        So are you talking about megabytes or megabits, there is a huge difference.

              Anything should handle that with ease unless there is a bad configuration issue such as one of the NICs set to the wrong speed/duplex.

              How is pfSense connected here? What is it running on?

              You will need to connect directly to the PPPoE with a client to test the speed without pfSense in-line.

                      Ok, well with that hardware I doubt you'd even notice the CPU usage at 10Mbps.

                      You need to test a direct connection first to see if you are actually losing anything.
