Morning.

I will update you as soon as feedback is provided. We have escalated the ticket.
 
Hi there. I am getting 60/30 on my 1000/500 line, looks like traffic shaping to me. I did the whole dance of plugging laptop directly into ONT, switching off equipment for 5m, etc.
This has been going on since Monday, maybe even Sunday evening.

frogfoot ticket: 1568219 has been open for 24h now with no further feedback. Could you potentially escalate with them?

@Afrigirl , I pmed you some additional context earlier.

I'm looking into this query and I saw you speedtests are capped at exactly 67.68Mbps download and 35Mbps upload. I see the host name your router is sending us is just Router

Are you sure that there is no rate limit set on the router? Does connecting directly to the ONT make any difference in speed and have you tried to test on multiple devices like phones and another laptop/desktop?

FrogFoot enabled MAc forced forwarding for you to clear the traffic up. Please can you check if the traffic is gone now?

Hi, yeah, I have tried connecting my laptop directly into the ONT while disconnecting everything else. I am sure that I don't have any QoS set up on the OPNSENSE box, unless someone guessed my ridiculous password and did it for me.
 
@AfriNatic In desperation yesterday I also installed the ookla cli app straight onto the opnsense box. This should bypass the gateway altogether. I will pm you a session i will do just now where i traceroute to google and do the speedtest if that helps. The "shaper" section in the firewall and all of its subsections are empty.

The only esoteric thing I've done (last night much later than where my problems started) was to enable IPV6 for my guest vlan _only_.

If this were a self-imposed shaping I also think my jitter would [edit: not] go so high when doing a speed test (see incoming pm). I could be wrong, I am still learning how to do networking like a pro :)

Hi, uhm, actually my line is dead

Edit: I left my place around 1:30 pm, so only now noticed it's down when I got back

Hi

This is now sorted. Can you please test again
 
@AfriNatic Anything else need checking before you call up Frogfoot to fix whatever they broke? Have for the time being connected to my neighbours wifi, but I need this sorted for my work day tomorrow morning
