take advantage of my new 1.5 gig service
 

I am wondering what the right path is to take advantage of this new enhanced service I was offered at my renewal. both short term and long term.

I was told the only required step was to wait 10 minutes then restart my gear and it would be re-established at the new rates. That does not appear to be the case as I see 942 d /941 from my desktop. I know the 1Gb NICs will not allow me to see the full 1.5 .... but I seem to be stuck at the prior 940 mbps throttle value. Short term I would expect to at least max out my 1Gb ethernet

longer term, I want to max out the 1.5g to a single device.
I have a non standard hookup, the 3200 fiber router they gave me is not even used.
My telus fiber is terminated to an SFP (or an SFP+) that is connected to my pfsense router wan port (1gbe NIC.) Its WAN port is then connected to a 10Gig switch. PC/NAS connected to switch 10Gb fiber.

My hope is to replace the NICs in the router and that will be all that is needed.
If the fiber transceiver is SFP+ then I should get 1.5
if it is only SFP, then I am not sure what to do next. She checked that my telus supplied gear was fully capable of 1.5 before I agreed to the service agreement.
