Have tried disabling as many options as I can all to no avail

I'm wondering what can be expected in terms of transfer rates from SSL VPN on vDSL in UK?

Anyone?

Some numbers for you - make of them what you will.

Using Netflix's tester ( http://fast.com )

Basic connection test; via Zen Internet: 57Mbps down / 13Mbps Up (As good as it gets in North Devon!)

Assigned Default Gateway on Vigor2860 to my "Always on VPN" (L2TP/IPsec) to a (Vigor 2830n) node in Cornwall - 8.6Mbps down / 7.6Mbps up. (The Cornwall end is a slower "40/10" connection, so its "10Mbps" 'upload' was probably the limiting factor)

Established a secondary SSL VPN to same target - 1.6Mbps Down / 1.5Mbps Up.
