Are you sure the problem is with the cable service and not your PC?

Traceroutes would be helpful. In Windows, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Type 'tracert www.daniweb.com' into it and post the results.

Well, certainly nothing unusual about that. It would suggest that me that there is something on your computer that's slowing it down. Have you shut down all unnecessary programs, done a virus and spyware check, and perhaps even done a defrag on your HD?
