What's your advertised speed?  Also, I'm assuming that your computer doesn't have an ethernet port?

No, It doesn't,  my NIC card died and i didnt feel like buying another one...

Also, I really dont know advertised becuase its road runner and they never say a specific rate. "Up to 70x faster than dial-up" is the claim..hah

Thanks

Try checking for viruses and spyware, those could be eating up your CPU usage which you dont have too much of.

The computer may stop responding (hang) during startup or shutdown.
Your network throughput and overall network performance may gradually decrease, sometimes to the point that the computer hangs or becomes completely unresponsive to network requests.

you know, it just may be the fact that your going via USB, instead of NIC card.. because when i first got my cable ( roadrunner as well) i didnt have a NIC card, and the technician who was installing the cable said i needed one , because these toshiba modems run incrediably slow via USB. so i paid the 20 bucks for the new card Neutral..... you may want to do the same.
