It is symmetrical. Though to be honest I see weird numbers sometimes. From A 
to B is sometimes fast sometimes slow, and from B to A is also sometimes 
fast sometimes slow.

The intra-subnet speeds are ok.

Even though the problem is symmetrical one subnet has a slow connection 
speed form the Internet cafe.

There are multiple machines on each subnet, 5 On A and 2 on B.

I've tested:

- all 5 to machine B-1
- one from A to machine B-2

The results were the same. A to/from B is slow.

From the Internet cafe connecting to machine B-1 gives about 1.2Mbps while 
connecting to a machine on A gives about 300kbps.

Does that help?
