Which is faster, your system or router.
You might want to check.

I bought a faster internet service, 500 down.
Installed a TP-link router between modem and system.
https://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
showed ~90 down.

Powered off modem for 1 minute, connected system
and got ~300. Returned router to store.

Called Frontier FIOS support. Tech showed me a
speed test in the modem and I got the 500 down/up.

# ethtool $_net_nic | egrep "Speed|Duplex|detected"
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Link detected: yes

Guess I need a faster cpu.
Athlon II X4 635 (P) 2.9 GHz (95W) 4000 MHz
HyperTransport 3.0 Socket AM3

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
2900000
2900000
2900000
2900000

And you might need a faster motherboard and faster RAM to go with it.

Remember, during a speed test you're pretty much doing nothing but
communicating with the router/ISP. Real-world usage, you have to share
cpu, RAM, motherboard, and associated components with the router and any
background processing you might be doing.

Very true. I even ran shorewall clear just to see if disabling it would help.

Main point I wanted to make was the router was the main bottleneck.

Fios support teck wanted me to believe their router was splitting
bandwidth with my router and my voip to analog adapter (phone).
