hey lexus, first off don't go by what that test tells you cuz it ain't right. if you are going to do those test try the one at www.dslreports.com (http://www.dslreports.com) speeds vary for a number of reasons, server load etc..have you tried the tweaks on this site if not try the one for your OS.

The OS is the "Oprating system"

At Dslreports they even tell you that the tests are not as accurate as they should be

Since your still real new to this you might spend some time on the speedguide main site reading through the hole site to get a good feel for it and read through more of the threads(posts) to see if there ws someone with a similar problem

You said you ran one of the patch's(speed tweaks) but did you run the Vtcp.386 fix too.
that will be important in using the patch's

Good luck and welcome to speed guide
