Is it a Ultra 1 Enterprise (U1E) ?  or regular Ultra 1 ?

If memory serves me correct, the U1E (models 140E, 170E, and 200E) had 
100baseTX...
but the straight Ultra 1 (models 140 and 170) only had 10baseT.

If you only have straight Ultra 1, that would explain  why you top out 
at 10Mbps.

If you have a U1E... then see if you can verify if you are getting a 100Mbit
connection with the hme interface. 

The fact your topping out at 10Mbps seems to indicate your ethernet is 
probably
not exceeding that in it's speed, and that it isn't relevant to the 
firewall ruleset.
