Hey everyone! I'm looking for a little help on increasing my laptop's speed. Here's a few details on what i'm using:

- Toshiba Satellite A135 Series
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo processor
- 1GB of Ram (? that's what it's called, right? lol)
- 160GB HDD
- My internet i'm using is Verizon DSL. The router is downstairs, and i'm upstairs (that may be the problem?)
- I don't have a great graphic card. It's not even enough to play simple games. It's just the stock basic one.


Any help will be greatly appreciated! I just want my internet being a bit faster. For example, this site takes about a minute to load one simple page. It's pretty slow. My downloading of programs, on the other hand, is FAST. I usually download things off the internet with over at least a MB per second speed. Everything is fast, but the internet is a little sluggish, and I don't understand why.

Thanks, everyone!
