New 1G line, achievable direct from modem, but not through opnsense box?

Sometimes the servers from speedtest are slower than 1G

This was tested using both fast.com and speedtest.net. Both come out relatively the same.

800Mb is good in my opinion, for a 1G network

but indeed, with some tuning you could achieve more

the upload/download ratio is huge BTW

also, I would try using http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest so you have bufferbloat information too

[siga75]

in System: Settings: Tunables, try

net.inet.tcp.recvspace   Maximum incoming/outgoing TCP datagram size (receive)   1048576   
net.inet.tcp.sendspace   Maximum incoming/outgoing TCP datagram size (send)   1048576   
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen   Maximum size of the IP input queue   2048   


eventually also try disabling PowerD

The connection is actually between like 1124-1145 or so. Upload is 50-52 or so.

Yeahh the upload isn't fantastic, but there isn't a lot I can do about it with Virgin sadly. I believe it's something to do with the DOCSIS 3.1 they use? Still, gig connection for £62pcm isn't bad!

Perfect, will run that after I make the changes suggested!

Sadly it's still coming out as the following:

18ms
653 megabit/s
18ms
51.6 megabit/s

PowerD is disabled, and everything below it is on Maximum.

Thanks,

Swapped over to an Intel genuine 4 port nic as I thought that the realtek one I was using for the LAN may have been causing issues, however it hasn't made a difference sadly. If anyone has any ideas, i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
