After finally managing to convince the peeps at ntl that I had a good reason for moving to 10mb early my worst fear has been confirmed.

My 4 port router is not capable of handling a 10mb connection on the WAN port, I presume because they have only designed that port to be 10M half duplex.

(I have tested the connection direct to my PC with zonealarm free installed and downloaded the same test file I used with the router installed and managed a solid 1.1Mb per second)

So, on to the list:

Router Name: SMC Barricade SMC7004BR UK.
Router Firmware: R1.96h2.
Typical throughput with 10Mb: 450-600Kb per sec.
