Go here and download quicktime...this will give you a true indication of your bandwidth. The Apple web servers are always really fast so you can see yout true speed.

You shouldnt need to change anything on your router..apart from maybe restarting it.

I had some trouble with my connection the other day. The guy on the other end of the phone said the cold weather and christmas lights can have an effect on the cable and cause attenuation (loss of signal)

Might be down to that
