Hi there,

I can confirm this issue.
I'm using a westell dsl modem, and going from 2.6.26.5 to .27.  I found that I 
couldn't connect to most websites either.
This modem is in passthrough mode and not nat.

Could you try this?:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack

It looks like it helped in a similar problem here:
