pfSense slow to download packages from Negate repo on UK CityFibre connection
This is a bit of weird one and I don't have an explanation for this.
Have had a couple of pfSense units, a Watchguard XTM 515 running pfSense CE and currently using a XG-7100 1U on pfSense Plus.
Installs and updates would be fine when I was on Virgin Media (or using a relatives Virgin Media connection).
However, ever since I've switched from Virgin Media cable internet to FTTP via CityFibre here in the UK, updating any pfSense device on this connection has been like molasses, downloading at around 1Mbit/sec, when it's pulling the packages from the Negate repo. I have changed CityFibre ISPs during that time, including going from PPPoE to DHCP WAN connection.
Everything else about the pfSense units has been fine otherwise and I'm able to leverage the full speed (500Mbit/sec Symmetrical) of my connection.
Any ideas?
