Just to confirm:
The 750mbps download/1800mbps upload makes sense? There must be more processing in the network stack on the download side, right?
I suspect my pf rules are pretty straightforward, but I can post the rules if you think it's relevant.
If all of that checks out, I'll look to upgrade the hardware.
