10.4: Disable IPv6 networking for possible speed gain
Authored by: nter on Dec 24, '10 03:12:11PM

I know this thread is four years old but I thought I'd share something I found: the reason Windows gets better network speed than OSX is because flow-control is enabled by default in OSX. Try disabling it and you should see a speed increase: System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Ethernet -> Configure Manually -> Change "Duplex" setting from "full-duplex, flow-control" to just "full-duplex".

This did wonders for my connection. Hope it helps.
