if its supoosed to be 8meg then yeah that's a bit low ^^... do you have a wireless router on that coneection or any other pcs running on it at the same time? if so cut the other pcs off and make sure no ones stealing your wifi cause that will slow you down... i take the antenae (spelled wrong i know) off mine so people can't 'borrow' it.. also could put a password but im too lazy..
