also, you might as well try a factory reset on the draytek incase there are settings that have been set that you cant find
it isnt the DHCP on the superhub, DHCP is ip addresses, not speed

Craig, you must have diamond nuts mate. It was the QoS indeed, WAN2 was capped at 10Mbps, my old subscription limit. Because the SuperHub doesn't pass it's connection details to the Draytek like the old Cisco modem used to, Draytek is using the default 10Mbps up & 10Mbps down limit.
I was getting a bit paranoid, thinking the DHCP was somehow limiting each client to 10Mbps, but you're right, if you think about it, it doesn't make sense.
Virgin Media should make you Level 3 Tech Support, let you fill in your own pay cheques
.
This is thanks to you Craig:

Are there two firewalls running on both Superhub and Draytek? Is the connection actually running at 100mbits between Superhub and Draytek, or is it only doing 10mbits?

When using wireless, even if the laptop is right next to the Draytek, I can't get past 30Mb on the download. I switched to wired and, well, see my previous post.
I've disabled the firewall on the SuperHub, I swear by my Draytek. It has all the fine-tunings that I need, including Firewall configs, QoS & VPN connections, nothing comes close to it in terms of versatility.

Mmmm, that's good to know. The file server is attached to the Draytek's only gigabit port. Since I trust its security more, the SuperHub will only ever act as a modem in my case. I was perfectly happy with the Cisco TBH, would have chosen it anytime over the SuperHub.
