What speeds should i be getting?

Just found out it had nothing to do with usenet. After a lot of reading on different forums I found out that Ethernet connections from the modem to PC are quicker than usb so i changed my connection to Ethernet. Been getting speeds of 1+MB/s so I'm happy now.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Good man, thanks for letting us know you fixed it. The other thing is that the USB has an overhead on your PC and slows that down a bit as well, so the dedicated ethernet port is definitely the better option. The only reason for use of USB is ease of set up.
