when im using edonkey it says im downloading at say 40, so theres theoretically 30KB/sec left to use, but when i click on a link in explorer it seems to hold for a few seconds then the page loads.
Firstly,I've had a look at 802.1p seems to be for polling and prioritizing traffic. 802.1 generally is the group for LAN management.

Secondly, try using full duplex and seeing if that speeds it up, it should. If you are going to test the speed use a speed test like Robin's or ADSL Guide's.
