We can embrace love; it's not too late. Why do we sleep, instead, with hate?
Belief requires no suspension to see that Hell is our invention.
We make Hell real; we stoke its fires. And in its flames our hope expires.
Heaven, too, is merely our creation. We can grant ourselves our own salvation. All that's required is imagination.

the quickest way to determine if its the router or not is to bypass the router and connect your mac with a Cat5e cable directly to the modem if your still getting 5-6mbps then it is indeed not the router and their problem and they should fix it

Check namebench out, it may help... written by Google. http://code.google.com/p/namebench/
MacKeeper is another option, which actually can do quite a bit to speed up your Mac. http://testmy.net/mackeeper (direct download link)
