As for the dl speeds, the newer dsl modems don't really help all that much. If you're lucky enough to actually get ANYWHERE NEAR 800kb/s, consider it very good luck. Keep in mind that your dl speeds are also very dependant on the server limitations through which you go through. Servers like Steam are great since they do have huge bandwidth. Firefox, at least for me, does take a little bit longer to resolve web pages, but trying multiple times sounds like something buggy. Do the pages just not load? YOu get errors?

I have a router it's just a matter of making the change from cable to DSL. By newer modem I meant upgrading my cable modem because it does help, a brand new modem will increase my speeds by quite a bit.

If the cap set by my internet company is like 800kb/s then I don't see how my internet can surpass that, especialy for like half an hour straight. I try to load a page and nothing loads, eventualy it tells me it can't connect so I just try open it in multiple tabs.
