Haven't seen any previous posts so are you actually cable or DSL?
There appear to be three main forms of "Liar" - in order they are
politicians, lawyers and ISPs
ISPs have an "UP TO" disclaimer with everything.
I do not like Linksys '54gs much anyway but why the switch as well? Is
this setup something that was achieving better speeds before?
Obviously there's potential for delay in every extra bit of equipment in
the path - and if you are testing using a browser you might try a
different one. With the other things most modern equipment probably has
the best all purpose defaults.
"If" you can bypass the switch and the router for tests consider doing
so. Also cycle power on everything if you don't normally switch off at
night etc.
