I need help optimizing my Internet!

I really need some help with my internet. I am currently a college student so i have really good internet speeds when im on campus, but when i go home, my download speeds are EXTREMELY slow. I just don't know why. I am running a Vista x64 btw. My home internet service is Charter with 5mb. Here are the results from TCP test:

WEB100 Enabled Statistics:
Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
checking for firewalls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
running 10s outbound test (client-to-server [C2S]) . . . . . 367.0kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server-to-client [S2C]) . . . . . . 13.11kb/s

------ Client System Details ------
OS data: Name = Windows Vista, Architecture = x86, Version = 6.0
Java data: Vendor = Sun Microsystems Inc., Version = 1.6.0_10

------ Web100 Detailed Analysis ------
Cable modem/DSL/T1 link found.
Link set to Full Duplex mode
Information: throughput is limited by other network traffic.
Good network cable(s) found
Normal duplex operation found.

Web100 reports the Round trip time = 245.0 msec; the Packet size = 1460 Bytes; and
There were 10 packets retransmitted, 6 duplicate acks received, and 10 SACK blocks received
The connection stalled 2 times due to packet loss
The connection was idle 1.23 seconds (11.18%) of the time
S2C throughput test: Packet queuing detected: 99.92%
This connection is network limited 99.8% of the time.
Excessive packet loss is impacting your performance, check the auto-negotiate function on your local PC and network switch

Web100 reports TCP negotiated the optional Performance Settings to:
RFC 2018 Selective Acknowledgment: ON
RFC 896 Nagle Algorithm: ON
RFC 3168 Explicit Congestion Notification: OFF
RFC 1323 Time Stamping: OFF
RFC 1323 Window Scaling: OFF

Server 'ndt.iupui.atl01.measurement-lab.org' is not behind a firewall. [Connection to the ephemeral port was successful]
Client is probably behind a firewall. [Connection to the ephemeral port failed]
Packet size is preserved End-to-End
Server IP addresses are preserved End-to-End
Information: Network Address Translation (NAT) box is modifying the Client's IP address

Nothing to do with TCP Optimizer when using Vista, try Vista tweaks: http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=240256

Hey all, I need to optimize my website so as to increase my traffic and attract more patients. If required I would like to reconstruct my website. And what should I take into consideration while selecting a SEO company.
