Norch, welcome to speedguide!
You said you downloaded the patch (s) but, did you right click on the patch and choose install, then reboot your computer? Where about are you located and who do you have for an internet service provider? There are many things that can affect speeds. Almost forgot, what operating system are you using?
I know, questions, questions, questions. The more you can provide, the better we'll be able to help you. Hey, this didn't show up as a reply-lets try again!

To add to blebs99's questions, what amount of speed are you supposed to get?
And just to be clear, do you mean to say kilobits or kilobytes? What you are saying is 50 kilobits per sec, which is extremely slow...
please refer to this page for proper terminology of bit / bytes -
