        @stephenw10 Update, guess what? ;) we went to Target and picked up a basic Netgear N600 WiFi Dual Band Router connected it to my Netgear CM1000 modem and we got 98mbps down even with my VPN on and the router is only 100mbps.

        Conclusion? Xfinity has somehow targeted or tagged my pfsense, a USG, a USG Pro, firewalls for throttling? I don’t know what to make of this, this cheap Netgear router isn’t being cut of it download speed but my pfsense and other enterprise firewalls tested are. Go figure.

          You guys aren’t going to believe this, after telling Xfinity that I was going find an investigative reporter to look into this issue, and about an hour later... my download speed is back to normal, 167mbps and 7.7mbps. Coincidence?
