I just got the 10 Gigabit service set up today at my house in downtown San Jose. Unfortunately, I am a bit disappointed because I am not getting the advertised speed or really anything all that close to it. Since the network rolled out in my location here in the last week or so, I wonder if there might be some teething issues on Sonic's side, or if there is a more accurate way to test things besides what I am trying, which will get closer to the advertised speed.
I tried calling support but they did not really have any ideas and punted me to the forums, which was somewhat unfortunate... I would expect to have some more detailed testing procedures for evaluating these things. I checked everything in https://help.sonic.com/hc/en-us/article ... r-Ethernet but it was pretty elementary and did not have much to say about a speed past 1 gbps but still way below 10 gbps.
I am only seeing about 2.2 gbps download and upload in the best case and less than 1 gbps in the average case, despite having some very recent high performance hardware.
I have tried it both through my router, and direct to my workstation with no router, to eliminate possible issues.
The router is Supermicro Superserver E300-9D-4CN8TP, which has an Xeon D-2123IT 2.2 / 3 GHz Skylake with 4 cores, and duel Intel SoC SFP+ and Intel X557 10GBase-T NICs, and DDR4 RAM, running PFSense 22.05-RELEASE. This box is spendy, is custom designed by SuperMicro to be a screaming fast SDN router.

The workstation is AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 3.8 GHz with 8 cores, using an Asus ProArt X570 Creator WiFi motherboard with an
Aquantia AQC113CS 10GBase-T NIC, and I verified that the NIC's PCIe speed is higher than 10 gbps. By far not the shiniest workstation, but also not cheap or low-end stuff.
I did verify I have 10gbps port speed going from router and workstation to ONT, so the issue really seems to be ONT to outside. I have tried a number of different performance testing options.
iperf3 locally, between server and workstation, alternating server and client and forward and reverse, ipv4 and ipv6 - no less than 3.7 gbps, and up to nearly 6 gbps
https://www.sonic.com/speedtest - only about 2.2 gbps
ftp://ftp.sonic.net/pub/testfile.compressed.1000meg - only about 2.1 gbps
various iperf3 servers, because Sonic sadly has no server - only about 1 gbps at best
Is there anybody who has truly seen the advertised performance level? If so, in what location via what approach?
