Browsing is slow and downloading apps is painful. I have no problems with speed when running off my XP drive, and I had no problems when running Kubuntu 7.10.

It feels like a config problem - can anyone please point me in a direction to look? (ethernet directly to PC, set up through pppoeconf)

(and no, after all the problems I've already solved, I'm not changing to Ubuntu :D)

Not sure if this is the one you're looking for:
/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider


noipdefault
defaultroute
replacedefaultroute
hide-password
#lcp-echo-interval 30
#lcp-echo-failure 4
noauth
persist
#mtu 1492
#persist
#maxfail 0
#holdoff 20
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth1

This may also shed some light, from sudo ifconfig -a

3228 frame errors on eth1 seems a bit worrying.
 
3228 frame errors? That's rather quite a lot. Running on pppoe myself, not getting a single error (in fact not a single dropped packet in over 6 months). So you might have an issue there, which could explain why browsing's slow- it has to resend/re-receive lost packets.
Why is your mtu1492 commented out? Not sure about with iBurst, but with ADSL it doesn't get commented out. It's actually quite needed there.

Have no idea why it's commented out - will look into it. At the mo (and it looks like every morning early) I'm getting decent d/l speeds (hitting 100kB/s at times, with only 5 dropped frames out of 19k), so I have a feeling my tower is hurting once everyone wakes up :(
