Looks like it was my router slowing me down. I connected to the cable modem directly and got great speed tests. :::..

I looked trhough all the admin pages of the browser, but didn't see an option to enable ICMP traffic. Will there be an option that says, Enable ICMP traffic? Since it's my router slowing me down, is there any router tweaks / settings I can change so that it doesn't slow down my connection as much?
