until prices get better or routers get better my recomendation-just buy a inexpensive gig switch and connect it 100 mb to your existing router.

even at 100 mb, most likely your internet speed will still be your bottleneck unless you have greater than 12 mb download speeds. gig speeds mean alot more for local file transfers and as long as all your local devices are wired and gig connected, you should get the best speeds within your network.

No that is a common misconception. If you and your Pogoplug are on the same LAN you do not go through the servers.  Your transfer stays on your LAN.

It does require an interent connection to log in, view files, etc, but the transfer does not go through the Internet.
