Is it home user limit WAN connection to 100mb?

Hi!

I have upgrade my ftth from 100/10 to 200/50, next month to 300/50.

the problem is, if i test with pfsense i have max speed, with sophos i have 100/50.

What is the problem. i don t have any QOS enabled.

I use the same machine with 4x intel 1GB

p.s.: on ftth switch i have green link for 1GB WAN connection

I've been able to get 1gbps+ speeds through the UTM with a home license.

However, the IPS will be a bandwidth bottleneck due to high CPU usage.

Try disabling the IPS and re-testing, and/or run 'top' during the tests and look for the Snort process.

You can use the Rule Aging and other tuning features in the IPS settings to try to coax a little more out of it.

Also, you may want to disable SpeedStep in your motherboard's BIOS; William and I have both found that the CPU throttling in the i5 CPUs is too aggressive.
Recent CPUs will NOT use measurably more electricity with Speedstep off.
