Hello list :)

I have a problem with my so called server, i'm using FreeBSD 
7.0-RELEASE. I connect to it trough ssh because i'm not in that 
location. Everything is ok i'm using /usr/sbin/ppp to connect to the 
internet as i have a pppoe account with static ip from my ISP. The 
problem is that on the FreeBSD box i have download/upload speeds between 
30k/s and 150k/s wich is really low. I've checked with a laptop(windows) 
at that location and i got a download/upload speed ~6MB/s (advertised by 
the ISP), so it's a really big difference.

Here's my ppp.conf file:

default:
         set log Phase

rds:
         set device PPPoE:rl0:
         set mtu 1492
         set mru 1492
         set speed sync
         set authname "********"
         set authkey "******"
         disable ipv6cp
         add! default HISADDR

I've tried to play with several options here as:
disable acfcomp protocomp
deny acfcomp
but with no result. Everything is ok except the speed. If there is 
anyone who can at least point me in the right direction please do so.

P.S. I have to mention that i use pf as firewall but even with pfctl -d 
i get nowhere.

Thanks in advace ...
