Most of it is because the internet infrastructure here is as old as baseball and they don't want to repair/upgrade the cables, equipment, etc.Īs I write this message, it looks like they are having problems this morning, my service is 200/10 mbits, typically get 220/11.5 mbits, but this morning it is about 24.7/11 mbits. Worth Texas area, you already know that Spectrum has problems and have ever since they came to town. You don't say where you live, but if you are in the Dallas-Ft.

I am wondering if there is something else that I should look at or possibly change. I double checked all of my basic configuration such as the NIC that connects to the Spectrum Modem being set to 1000mb/full duplex and the CPU load not spiking. When I run a speedtest to the Ft Worth Spectrum site, I am getting around 450 mbit/s on average. I have installed SpeedTest-CLI on my pfSense server. Here is test from client said in pfSense Speed Test with Spectrum Gigabit Connection: That was test from my pfsense, ie have 500/50 connection. Hosted by Syndeo Networks INC (Chicago, IL) : 26.686 ms Also if you suspect that pfsense is the issue with your internet speed, connect a client direct to your modem and test the speed. PfSense has been optimized to work in a routing role, so sometimes you might see reduced numbers when pfSense itself is acting like the client.īest tests of what pfsense can do is something on its wan, something on its lan and test between them - where you take internet out of the equation. It is optimized to push packets through it, not to and from itself ) Because pfsense is router/firewall - not client.
