Try searching google for a speed test. Search for "YOUR SPEED CONNECT HERE speed test". It may just be you need to turn off programs running in the background killing your connection(Spyware, Malware, Trojans&Worms). Try checking what processes your running in the background. If you find some that you don't want running or are not sure what it is... again search google for "Startup control panel"(controls what programs startup), and search the process name to see what it is.
