Check network card and hard set the duplex and speed to 10baseT.
Do the usual checks to make sure PC is ok, AV checks, spyware checks, firewall configs, etc, etc.
At the end of the day the issue lies with the PC, STB is the same one that was running fine with the 500MHz machine, the issue is either with the network card / drivers, or a program on the PC generating traffic. Find the issue there and all should be sorted.
re: 'slowness' not v specific. Increased latency? Increased web page rendering times? Slower transfer rates on downloads?
Try using the excellent broadband speed tester to see if there are any differences between cached and uncached transfer rates (assuming caches are involved, don't think in Rochdale they are).
If there is no caching involved and the FTP probs persist check firewall configurations, and the remote site. Remember that the cable modem in the STB is a layer 2 and layer 1 device, it shouldn't really be making any difference to a layer 4 and above protocol such as FTP, and is it uploading that's the problem, this wasn't specified.
Hope this helps a bit and more info is always useful in diagnosis.

Update so far checked the PC on my connection and vice versa loaned one of my PCs to test the connection.
Could be the NIC am going to try that putting a separate one in the PCI slot. The software used is configured exactly as the old machine only difference being more RAM and faster processor on the new machine.
Will check its set to 10 base as said allreaady works no problems on my STB through my router.
The slowness is on downloads checked with robins site it was down to 25 and up to 89.
The Software side brand new PC running XP virus and spyware checked none running in the background.
I will try some more monitoring on the connection.
Will update the details on my monitoring of it
