For your Cisco 837 DSL config, try some of the following: interface Dialer0 ip mtu 1492 If you are using a bridging interface for the 4 ports on the back into a VLAN, also try the following interface BVI1 ip tcp adjust-mss 1452 Whilst I have ADSL2+ here, I get nowhere near 2+ speeds thanks to copper pair distance due to its path from exchange & quality: sh dsl interface | i Speed Speed (kbps): 0 3634 0 819 Using speedtest.net via Chrome/W7 through Squid 3.1.1 on CentOS 5.4 x86_64 running on a VM (can provide source RPM if needed): Download: 1.96Mb/s Upload: 0.54Mb/s Via Chrome/W7 without Squid: Download: 3.12Mb/s Upload: 0.68Mb/s >From another Linux system: export http_proxy=http://x.x.x.x:3128 wget wget http://cache-203.39.198.135.files.bigpond.com/software/network/browsers/Fire foxPortable_3.6.3_English.paf.exe --11:36:40-- http://cache-203.39.198.135.files.bigpond.com/software/network/browsers/Fire foxPortable_3.6.3_English.paf.exe => `FirefoxPortable_3.6.3_English.paf.exe' Connecting to 192.168.0.5:3128... connected.

Also check Cisco's site for ADSL firmware updates for your router to improve DSLAM compatibility as well - it may help. Hope all of the above helps.

At home the speed is the same 10 mbps on both tests. I'll check for the DNS, could the cisco 837 router limit speed somehow?
