I think it may be the MTU setting - where you would set that though, I have no idea.
I used to work as technical support for Verizon Online DSL, and whenever people had problems transmitting data, it was usually due to an improperly set MTU on the router.

The minimum frame size is 64 bytes, including the 4-byte ethernet frame check sequence.
Google "runt packet."
