      Re: PPPoE on WAN link for Centurylink gigabit service

      After getting pretty close to full speed gigabit with centurylink GPON service last year on my sg-2440, I've since upgraded to an SG-3100.

      I think ( I don't actually remember) I tested speeds when I switched boxes and all was fine, but I'm now seeing 373 down/113 up on the link. These speeds seem consistent when tested from the pfsense box itself and from a linux box behind it. This seems woefully inadequate on a gigabit link.

      Is there further tuning on the pfsense side with the sg-3100? Some software setting I'm missing in 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3, or is centurylink just effing up?

        Connect a client directly to the upstream device and test that.

        The SG-3100 should pass close to Gigabit line speed though so those speeds look far lower than expected.
