So I recently got FTTH from Kinetic Windstream and have symmetric 1Gbps service.
The issue I am running into is that the upload appears to be capped at 30Mbps.
Download speeds are fine at 930 Mbps.
The service is terminated in the home with an Adtran SDX 601q GPON ONT with a 2.5 GbE interface which feeds the WAN input on the FW2B.
I can get full 930 Mbps up and down directly connected with a laptop to the ONT.
I re-installed OPNSense from scratch and still slow uploads.
In desperation I installed pfSense and it had the exact same issue.
Finally, I installed Sophos Firewall on the FW2B and it worked as expected (full up and down speeds).
What am I missing here?
There is no special requirement by this ISP for this fiber service that I am aware of.
I also tried both OPNSense and pfSense on my LattePanda Sigma which has 2.5 GbE interfaces to match the ONT but it also has slow upload speed.
The only common thread I can discern is OPNSense/pfSense are based on FreeBSD versus Suse Linux for Sophos Firewall.
Settings for the WAN port are the same in Sophos as well as OPNSense/pfSense.
I've used this setup in my previous home with fiber and never experienced this slow upload.
The ISP will not help because the issue is only there with my equipment.
I really want to get OPNSense back on the box as Sophos just feels dirty.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
