"Try System Preferences/Network/Built-in Ethernet/Configure/Configure 
IPv6 and Select 'OFF'.
This fixes a delay that was introduced with the latest OS X update on 
some machines, but I've also seen it fix network speed issues in earlier 
versions of the OS. Worth a try."

Yeah, throwing the IPv6 'OFF' (in various configs...w/w/ out DHCP 
tinkering or in the new TEST connection...Yeah, I used every option in

the same router. (All within the last 48 hours?!)

Well, there is a problem and it doubt it is with the IPv6 Config 
(thanks, though).
Something really sucks though! (Yes, I've tried many tests, both
