The weird thing is that the dock has USB 3 ports, which can easily support a GB LAN connection. I was going to buy one for my Surface Pro (gen1) until I saw that it was 10/100. You're better off buying something like a Plugable (plugable.com) USB 3 dock.
I don't think that's a big problem.

Dog slow as well, I suspect it's USB!

Not my experience at all, windows update did all my driver updates and at least one firmware update too.
