Hi.

I have a problem that I'm hoping someone in empeg-land may have the answer to.

Telewest/Blueyonder/Virgin Media (delete as applicable) have recently upgraded the cable provided internet I'm using to 20Mbits. Woohoo. Unfortunately, in so doing they have broken compatiblilty with my firewall/router (an oldish, but not elderly BEFSR41) The net result is that my link to the rest of the world is now running at 4Mb after the upgrade rather than the 10Mb it was before

It took a while to prove it was the router, mainly because I didn't think of it! I tested everything else to the hilt, but it took a couple of days before I thought "Ah. I wonder..." and plugged a laptop directly into the modem. Bingo, 18Mb+ download speed, much more like it. Router goes back in, 4Mb.

So, my question is this: Which router/firewall (no wireless required) will not only work well at 20Mb, but is sufficiently future-proofed to work at the 50Mb+ they're now insisting they'll be rolling out by the end of next year? I would prefer not to spend a huge amount of money, but I want to get a good one.
