Another thing to check would be to use ethtool to see what speed the raspberry pi ethernet port is reaching with your router.

This wasn't on a pi, but it'll look similar. Look at the Speed: line mostly, it'll say either 100MBit or 1000MBit depending on your router (some still only have 100MBit switches). Also look for Duplex: Full, I've had sometimes a config get set badly where it'll be half duplex and cause speed issues, usually due to a bad cable initially causing errors and bad autodetection.
