I got rid of my old Belkin router because it was slowing down my
downloads. Now my new Wireless N router is doing the same thing.
Throttles everything down to 150 to 200kbps. If I go directly into the
cable modem it's fine, 700-900kpbs. Why do routers keep slowing my
downloads down??

Scrounge an old obsolete pc, install a couple of cheap NICs and Debian,
configure it as a router, and be happy.

Is your cable fibre optic.

Both are cable routers used in the wired mode.
Cable is not fibre on my end, don't know about their TM network.

You confound "router" and "modem". Many modems incorporate (buggy,
inferior) routers but they are two different things.
