[SOLVED] Is this processor good enough to push 200Mbps using pfSense? Or is this the bottleneck?

Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz 2 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s)

This is the processor for our pfSense box, was wondering why everyone is getting a speed of less than what our ISP promised us. We have cat5e's as patch cords and gigabit switches, plus the 4 port LAN card in our pfsense is rated at gigabit also.

What speed are you supposed to be getting from the ISP?
What speed are you actually experiencing?
And tested how,exactly?

How many total users do you have connected as well?
Are any of the pfSense VPN services active? These take up a LOT of cpu resources.

USAFRet :

200+ Mbps, we are on fiber

but just getting 100 max on download sometimes 105 max on upload on some workstations, maybe due to their 100Mbps link speed, just doing testing via speedtest, and those connected to the AP are getting less than 20Mbps which is also weird :??:

azathoth :

a max of 50 users, VPN is active but no one uses it anymore seeing that it is easier to do remote stuff via teamviewer

I apologize for the necro, will mark this as closed, confirmed it works back then.
