From more experimenting tonight, I'm pretty happy fault doesn't lie with DOCSIS3/VM, and it's probably my router.. however one inconsistency remains, that I can't figure out, and which was causing me to really get confused before...

SH in wireless mode - all proven, useless and unreliable at anything more than 10Mb.
SH in modem mode - Ethernet to the laptop, anything between 25-29Mb depending on which testing method is used. VM connection proven good.
SH in modem mode - Ethernet into Netgear WGR614, wireless - I can scrape approx 8Mb. Yet the old Motorola Surfboard would consistently get high-9s via the same router. Which proves the Netgear is capable of delivering more than 10Mb.

I'm looking at investing in a new Netgear WNR1000 as the current equivalent, but with 802.11n speeds... although I just cannot understand why I'm getting slower speeds from the SH than the Surfboard did. That's what set this whole "poking and prodding" off, and I still can't work it out.
