I'm pretty sure it's because you have ARP on. It allows the Hub to see the MAC address behind the switch and route through one link.

When I first connected mine without ARP, I power cycled the hub, and it took ages to obtain an IP, I was like "nope, this doesn't work, lets go unplug an.... WAIT I HAVE A PUBLIC IP"

Like, it took a good few mins to sort it's life out.

If gig1 ever comes to Suffolk I'll let you know how mine goes, although it's currently looking like Cityfibre will reach me first.
