If you are downloading torrents, check your uploads and lower the limit, as uploads chew up a lot of bandwith. Do you have a limit on your net? For example, mine is a 10G limit. If I go over 10G in downloads (and uploads, depending on your plan), it will turn you bandwith down to shit all. What browser are you using? I find firefox loads faster, especially if you are using the beta.
Other then that, not a whole lot. You try getting a network cable and connecting the net through a wire from the router, but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. It usually the internet provider, even if you have a shitty computer the internet shouldn't sturggle, as that relies mostly on your internet connection and not your specs. Oh, and TVs don't intefere, I use wireless and my router is right next to the TV. |

I'm using Fire Fox right now (Not the new beta one, 3.0 or something right?) Changing my Internet Provider is out of the question, as I'm still a High School student living under my parents. Plus I think that since we have Comcast Cable for everything else (TV and phone), we have to have all or nothing. |

There are some programs out there that will change settings on your computer to speed up your internet (some work and some not. I use Tune Up Utilities). There are some out there that are free just Google them. Personally, I do not think that your speed is all that horrible though.

What I can recommend you is either get a better router or a better reciver (or both). My D-Link Reciver and Router sucked huge balls, and I got Linksys (both reciever and router). I saw a huge improvement and my downloading time was in halfed
