I reproduced the issue *unbonded* to ensure it wasn't an issue with my bonding solution (which happens to be SharedBand) - so the bonding itself isn't relevant.
Here's how I tested this:
1. Obtained four laptops.
2. Connected a laptop to each router (nothing else connected to the routers)
3. Commenced a 1gb download on the first laptop. 6.5mbit download rate
4. Commenced a 1gb download on the second laptop, both downloads slowed to approx 5mbit
5. Commenced a 1gb download on the third laptop, all three slowed to approx 4 mbit each
6. Commenced a 1gb download on the fourth laptop, all four now running at around 3.5 mbit/sec.
To eliminate the source site as a possible cause, I tried downloading from several other, large, well-known hosts and I saw exactly the same behaviour.
