there is something specifically in the route that traffic is taking that throttling

That’s what about this post ;)
Even on clean pfSense installation (no any rules, nothing) on that particular machine

pkg upgrade

or

pkg update

where fetch command used

give me 16,4KB/s ;)

On an old pfSense 1.x - and upgraded gradually to 2.5.2 CE - so probably not clean at all :

20Mbits is my WAN-down.

Thank You!
Is this graph only for fetch image from Netgate server (I mean dev version, nor mirrors in US and other countries) ?

The answer is : no.
My iPhone also decides to update itself to 15.1 (2 GB download) and the rest of the companies network was also actif.

I also use an IPv6 connection, that tunnel IPv4 packets out over the WAN with IPv6 traffic in it. So my IPv6 goes over the IPv4 WAN (technically, I have a double WAN setup).

I've shut down our main switch, so I was using the only PC on the network :
Test again :

That is close to 19 Mbits / sec, my ADSL down bandwidth.

It was using IPv4 - as IPv6 (ipv6.he.net) would be slower for me.
