      I need some help trying to track down what is seemingly causing my WAN upload speed to seemingly get capped to ~75 Mbps after a certain amount of time.
      If I reboot the machine, I get back to my full ~1,000 Mbps bandwidth, only to get reduced speed a little while later (after 30 minutes or a bit more).
      I've restored my configuration on two different boxes and got the same results.
      I don't know where in the logs to look for what may be causing this issue.

      Thanks for the help

        @CFC I'm seeing similar results.
        Care to share what ISP you are using? I'm using Empire Access.

            @CFC I'm still chasing down the same issue Not seeing responses to your question so let me ask a follow up question to you.
            What hardware are you using? Just trying to see if you and I have anything in common.

              @Normandy214 Well, after pulling all my non-existent hair, I requested a new ONT modem from the ISP. They replaced it, and it's been working correctly since.

                @CFC Thanks for the reply Glad you are back in business. I'm about to swap out my pfSense firewall for a dumb router and see what happens.
                If the problem remains I'll follow your route. If the problem goes away I'll know its the pfSense.
                Thanks for the feedback.
