For anyone else interested, the ISP is NTL (UK). The fix:

    echo "4096    16384   131072 " > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem
    echo "4096    87380   174760 " > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem

For the record, I think Stephen's suggested workaround is better:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling

It will prevent the other end of the connection from using a window scale, so it "fixes" both directions of the connection, not just receiving.

Thanks,
