my eariler results before whatever happened were somewhere around 1500/500...
my ISP is You Squared and I don't have any spyware/adware etc.... already checked that..
I called my ISP about a month ago to fix our connection cause then I only got about 800 kbps download.... And I think I'm gonna called them again...
tweaking doesn't seem to help at all... i've tried countless times and it just seems to make it slower..
here are some results...

I have a 4 meg internet connection but my download speed is only 1.5 mbps and only upload at about 400 kbps.... what can i do to speed it up? should i calll my ISP to see what they can do?
Whenever i play my xbox online i always seem to lag, and it doesn't help that we share our internet connection over 2 computers either.
