my 1st question is.do you use norton internet security?
if so, it gobbles up bandwidth big time, get rid of it.
There are a few really good free antivirus programs, ANTIVIR and AVG are good, I use AVG
FIREFOX should be your browser, and a program called FIRETUNE, it will tweak firefox.
there are a lot of helpful tweaks here at http://www.tweakxp.com/performance_tweaks.aspx
see what services are running on your pc, a good site to see what the names mean is

Upgrade your modem drivers if you haven't already.
Goodluck, norpas.com

Zone alarm will really slow down your connection and really does nothing for protection.
Honestly.
