      Hi all,
      I am new to the netgate device and pfsense. I am still on setting it up and testing it.

      I notice that I am not getting the full ISP speed from the netgate device. I would like to know the reason for it.
      I have a 1G Bell fibre service with a promise of max speed of 940M download and 750M upload.

      I had an identical testing condition to compare the result. The only difference was swapping between a Bell modem and a netgate SG5100.

      The testing was done at the Bell modem LAN port and Netgate LAN igb1 port, with speedtest with ookla, same speedtest server, same cable,laptop and browser.

      The result with Bell modem as follow:
      Ping UP Down
      1ms 932 692
      1ms 933 624
      1ms 937 662

      Result with Netgate
      1ms 797 593
      1ms 810 611
      1ms 789 604

      It is PPPoE connection with WAN VLAN.

      Did I config something not quite correctly on netgate?

      Best Regards
