        Are you doing any traffic shaping? A common issue is people enable shaping, but then have too small of queue buffers, which default to only 50.

        I also noticed your ping is distinctly higher, even if only ~0.5ms. It could just be my system, but I have no measurable difference in ping to an ISP local target compared to going through PFSense or not. Identical to the hundredths position for both average and std-dev. It probably doesn't mean anything.

          The following documents on the wiki may be helpful in assisting you to fix the problem:
          https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Low_Throughput_Troubleshooting
          https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tuning_and_Troubleshooting_Network_Cards

          Also, it might help to know what network adapters you're using.
