@CobraGT2000:

:( I was on the 2.3.4_1 version before the 2.4.0 upgrade. Prior to the upgrade my Google Fiber stats were (.8ms ping with a rttd of .2ms) and a download upload of 950/950. After the upgrade my pings are 300+ with an rttd of 500+, speeds are horrible at best, 200/10…..... Ive tried 9 different speed test sites, pings etc, im 100% its not my connection as it was tested prior to the upgrade. Any ideas?

Just wanted to chime in and say that I've been banging my head against the wall for the past few days trying to confirm where this problem was coming from. I also have Google Fiber, and prior to 2.4.0, I was getting the down/up speeds that you mentioned (950/950). After 2.4.0, I'm getting like 350/20 (best case scenario). I'm not sure about pings, but speeds are definitely way lower. And like opalmer mentioned, the ~20 Mbps upload rate on all speed tests was the red flag that caused me concern. My family uses WiFi for most everything, so we rarely get to see maximum download speeds in wireless situations, but with Google Fiber, the upload speed has always been nearly matched with whatever download speed we see reported.

My 2.4.0 upgrade went relatively smoothly - first it mentioned that it failed (nearly instantly after trying), but then I just tried again once more and it upgraded without a hitch.

I thought maybe Google Fiber was having some intermittent connection/speed issues (there's been some roadwork/utility maintenance being performed on my street by various companies over the last couple weeks), so I figured I'd give it a day or two and see if it cleared up. No luck. Then I contacted Google just to see if they would volunteer any info (if they were having any issues, a shortage, etc.) They said that they were not aware of any present issues.

This morning (several days post-2.4.0), I finally had a free minute to hook up the Google Fiber Network Box. Speeds were restored to ~1 Gbps up/down. I decided to try and reinstall pfSense fresh, so I backed up my 2.4.0 config and completely reinstalled. Restored from my backup config. Same speed issues returned.

Anyway, thanks again for starting this thread - I'm glad to know that we finally have ruled out most other complications.

If it matters to anyone, I'm running on physical hardware (not a VMWare setup) -

AMD 6400k APU @ 3.9 ghz

MSI A78M-35 Military Class 4 motherboard

4 GB DDR3 PC3 12800 @ 1600 mhz

2x Intel Gigabit PCIe cards

1 physical HDD (I forget the specs, but just a standard platter drive)

Edit(s): Just clearing up some typos.
