I have seen a couple 600Mb Centurylink ookla tests with it using Softlayer
in Dallas and Towerstream in Chicago.

I can give to temporary access to a server with 1 GB connection at Joe's DC
in Kansas City to test it with if you want.
.....Have not benched pfSense with VMware.  I know it has no problem with
1Git on bare metal.

Plenty of juice to saturate it: latest pfsense running under vmware with 4
VCPU and 4Gb with a dedicated NIC. I've run various tests, including
centurylink omaha based ookla tester: http://omaha.speedtest.centurylink.net


Hypervisor specs:
HP DL360p G8 E5-2650 x2 and 32Gb RAM running ESX 5.5.

I made sure I was setup on a month-month contract just in case it was bs..
not impressed so far, the tech was cool enough, and tried his best to
contact the right people, but for whatever reason I was only getting 150Mbps
down / 50 Up. clearly a cap somewhere, duh!

modem, a zyxel fx1000r and it's setup for pppoe! I took 5 minutes trying to
figure out how to just plug it right into my pfsense, but I think they are
setup for 802.1q tagging like on vdsl, and I don't have the right laptop to
troubleshoot what vlan it needs to be, maybe I'll throw wireshark on this
one just to probe around.

my phone at the wall, I reminded myself thats why I signed up month-month.
It's now up to 200~Mb down, but still not symmetrical. I'll give them a day
or three to "finish the provisioning" before I raise a stink.
