      Yeah - Its the bomb…  We should handle bridges, water, telephone, electricity etc the same way.

      The USA still isn't treating internet like critical infrastructure.

      The government talks about it alot, but its still pretty much at the whim if ISPs as a function of pure profit.

            You can either complain about the situation, or move to where the situation is improving.

            pfSense HQ is in Austin.  IJS…

                According to the new marketing literature, my 100Mb/100Mb "dedicated" connection is good for web hosting, but they don't list Ecommerce until 500Mb.

                I just ran a speed test with traffic shaping set to 950Mb and my bandwidth slowly oscillated between 96-98 according to a separate network graph and my ping to an internet server jumped up from 11ms to 23ms. Buffer bloat!

                My upload test oscillated between 97-98 and again my ping jumped from 11 to 23. Buffer bloat every where!

                I set my traffic shaping to 96Mb and now my ping remains a flat 11ms.

                Seems my ISP's self-hosted speedtest server seems to be not entirely up to the task. I get 1Mb higher to a New York test server that is 1,000 miles away.
