I have the 512 (now upgraded to 768) service myself. My service runs through the NTL set top box which acts as the modem. From there I have an ethernet cable running approx 10m to my US Robotics router, then an ethernet cable from there to my pc. I certainly don't have any of the problems you are experiencing, and get dowload speeds around the 90kb/s mark!!

Do you have some kind of firewall on your pc that may be causing problems?
What speed is your NIC card set to?

Just a couple more things to check as you definately have a problem that is almost certain to be with your set up.
