    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    I gave up on it myself. Found that, whilst it worked fine, it only lasted a short time and, after a few hours the speeds would drop back to around 950Mbps max, obviously only utilising a single link. More trouble than it's worth for the marginal increased speed. I was only getting 1100Mbps...

    Thanks, yeah I'm using pfSense. Had to reboot everything earlier for another reason and it's back to full strength so I'll keep an eye on it.

Sometimes it works fine and I get full speed, other times, during big downloads, I'll see the speed fluctuate between the 'full' 1100+ and about 950Mb, which is too coincidental for me and suggests the aggregation has failed and...

Having proven the concept, I've reverted back to my old set up for the time being as I'm waiting for a VM engineer on Tuesday to relocate the cable...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    Can anyone recommend a cheapish switch with a 10GBe uplink that would be capable of connecting to the hub via a pair of 1Gb connections in LAGG. I don't need a router, I already have that, I just need a switch that can basically convert from 2 x 1Gb LAGG to 1 x 10GBe.
