Nope. The internet has always sucked. No matter what computer I used. The laptop is brand new. I just brought it in the house 3 days ago.
I will try connecting directly to the modem. The router is an Airlink101 Wireless N router. Dont remember the exact model number but its the only router they have with 3 antennae.

The laptop is in the same room as the router. The router is just outside the door. Nobody else is using the internet. I havent changed any settings in the router lately but I can change them if any will make it go faster.
My dad installed a new hard drive on the desktop because it died but other than that no internet related changed have been made.
EDIT:
Plugged my laptop into the Modem and Speedtest gave me a 2 megabyte per second rating. Downloading iTunes, 80 Megabytes is taking approximately 1 minute. The speed is escalating right now between 300-900 KB/PS. Faster than before, yes, but still not what we paid for. We should at least get 1... and it was only at 900 for a few seconds. Its primarily sitting between 4-500.
I go back to the router and the speed is 100 kbps. I am sitting on the floor next to the router. I wonder why that is...
