It it is slower, it is because the service provider is not as good. Even if you do have 18M (I doubt it), you probably have high ping. Try out www.speedtest.net to see how it is.

Speedtest looks good. You might try resetting your router to factory settings, and maybe even try another web browser incase there is something wrong with the config files for it.

if your wireless. change your wireless channel! had the exact same problem with my u-verse. go to http://gateway.2wire.net/ (assuming that you have the same 2wire router i do. use that url (or enter the ip address) to access the router settings. Click on "Home Network" icon --> wireless settings. Then enter the Password (found on the router sticker) and then change the channel you are broadcasting on. you can use Netstumbler (just google it free download) to see what channels are broadcasting around you. The install techs never check this. there were 3 people on the same channel within range and it messed with my connection. If your not using the wireless turn it off! If still no luck, im outta ideas.

Best Luck,
