I am using a 20MB MAC and also forcing cmbus-pkg3-nat-any.cmas my config.

I am just wondering, do I have to use a 20MB MAC to get 20MB speed or can I use any MAC and the above config to get 20MB speed?

Thanks. Just so I know that I don't have to be too selective if I ever need to change my MAC.

Thanks again

How are you determining what speed you are getting? The same was happening to me, or so I thought. I was using an unreliable speed test site.
Use this one Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test and also try downloading something from Microsoft and see what speed you get.
