In the QoS section of my Linksys router there is a drop down with three options UBR CBR VBR For normal use which of these should I choose? What is the difference between the three? -

VBR = Variable bit rate
CBR = Constant bit rate
UBR = Unspecified bit rate.

Wiki has the explanations of the differences between them. Normal use like web browsing I'd go for VBR.
