[AusNOG] Cisco routers on NBN 100/40Mbps connection

[Bruce Forster]

Single stream im sure you will see close to what your looking for 100Mb
However multi users on the same site and different streams / packet size
you wont see 100Mb.
This is also true with the 1800 it will depend on the config/ACL and what's
enabled.

I would strongly look towards using a 1921, or 2900 this will really give
you the performance you are looking for.
