We have 3 locations - one hosts the UTM9 and two have RED50 devices linking our sites together for voice and data. All sites have download/upload speeds of 100/20 mbps. Because everything routes through the UTM, however, the reality is that our two RED sites download speed is limited to the upload speed at the UTM host site. So computers on our network at that location max out at about 18-20 mbps, even though download speed tests at 100+ when connected directly to the cable modem before the RED.
In general, this setup has been fine because our provider has been consistent. But when the cable provider (Comcast) has upstream issues, performance really degrades. For example, we've been dealing with inconsistent, slow upload speeds (5-7 mbps) at the UTM host site for about 2 weeks. As a result the download speeds for computers connected our other RED sites has been about 2.5-5 mbps....which sucks.
Is there a work around for this issue that wouldn't involve adding a UTM at each site? Is there a better way to configure things to keep our sites connected with the REDs but take advantage of the full bandwidth available to us?
