Jan, PPS are a function of CPU, memory, and how much data you can push through the system you are running. It is also dependent on how large of packets you send and how many small packets you are passing. Here a snapshot of a tower router RB2011 that is nearing its capacity. In the evening we get around 200MB but at 50% CPU usage.

This is a snippet from Mikrotik documentation showing capabilities of this router. Notice that with small packets throughput drops significantly regardless of how many packets per second it says you can pass through it.

Packets per second? Don't know where to set this. Oh, forget it, I'll call somebody

I meant streams (not steams).

When you say modem, are you talking about a cable modem perhaps? Is it possible you're hitting the PPS limit on the device?

When customers are doing 60 megs can you do a Speedtest and still hit 300?

    internet seems slow from my office.  Customers call and complain
    about videos not loading and/or start and then in a few minutes
    stop and re-load.  Steams?  not familiar with that function or
    term.  speedtest does not show anything serious, approx 250Mbps,
    even when plugged directly into the modem.  Speedtest via google,
    Bing and speedtest.com <http://speedtest.com> all show about the
    same thing.

    I recently bought an increase to the service speeds so I could
    compete better with DSL, Exceed and Gen5.

       They have replaced my modem about 5 times, yet customers who
    have not experienced problems before are now complaining.  I have
    a 300mbps service, now.  I see roughly 30-60Mbps peak traffic.

    I need a means of testing for various types of traffic across the
    threshold.
