Did you stop to consider that you may really only be getting 600kbps and the graphs are correct? I'm "blessed" with 1.5mbit ADSL at home, but I rarely see over 1.2mbit. On the graphs in question, was there traffic that actually hit 1mbit? Keep in mind the traffic graph data is sampled at regular intervals, not 100% constant. So, while surfing the web, you may hit 1mbit while downloading a large flash video or something, but it may be completely downloaded by the time the next sample period hits and your graph will not show that you hit 1mbit. The best way to test this is to download a large file like a Linux ISO and let the download go for 10 minutes or so. THEN, check your graphs. --Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
