Your bandwidth is being limited by something. Half the time the problem is hardware the other half would be software.

First determine the actual strength of your connection by running a PC directly from your DSL modem and doing a quick surf. If you are using wireless cards make sure that the signal is strong enough.

Check your Task Manager's performance tab to make sure that there is not a lot of system resources eaten up by running the wireless device.

Scan both computer's for adware/malware and malicious trojans that could be sharing your current bandwidth. Use Adaware and Spybot in conjunction to solve 90% of these problems.

Consider a direct corded connection by one PC and a wireless connection on any others. This configuration seemed to aid in the network node hierarchy to enable the corded connection as a pseudo server and sped up my connections to all three areas I had.

Test the router and/or hub within a single pc direct connection for hardware failures.

There are tons of possible others, but I hope these help.
